OK. Now in G & P L the professions are called occupations, as follows:
Gentleman
Player
Butler
Valet
Sleuth
Sportsman
Green & Pleasant Land really is good for Britain in the 1920's along with recommended reading of mythos books with British settings.
For those with little idea of what we are going on about on this forum try some Ramsey Campbell or Brian Lumley horror stories. They should whet your appetite.
