I've been around a fair old time and thought I had heard it, if not all, most of all.
Until last week when I went with my wife to meet and old office colleague of hers who was staying in Perpignan.
We talked about all sorts of things, including Fox and Werrity, and she used the phrase a 'Lavender Marriage'.
Told me to look at the ties worn at Fox's wedding reception, best man and groom that is.
And I hadn't heard it before.
It will astound some of you to realise that I am Welsh, and I discovered this phrase was also being used for a very eminent Tory who has married a fairly high profile Welsh girl.
When I Googled it, (the phrase not the Welsh girl) I found it had been around since the thirties.
Well bugger me, I learn something new. . . .

(A prize for the best words to follow that) Kenneth Williams (good Welsh name) in "Round The Horn" slipped in many words and phrases of gay slang into the "Julian and Sandy" routines. The mainstream audience lapped up the comedic value, while unaware that what they were also validating was homosexual coded idiom. Julian and Sandy
