Hollinghurst wins the Booker Prize. Quite what it has to do with cash and carry I don't know.
(Years ago, I went out with a guy who's now a moderately famous TV person, who's parents used the phrase "cash and carry" like a verb. "I'm going to cash and carry this afternoon, do you want to come?" That kinda thing. It wasn't in a northern lost-definite-article way, either; t'cash and carry. I spent some time staying with them and they spent a lot of time at the local Cash & Carry, as far as I can remember. They also drank a lot of alcohol. The whole thing was something of an eye opener to me. Why this comes into my mind now, and what it has to do with a literary novel about gay sex, I know not.)
