Answers on a postcard before I have time to write more detail: 

+ aged marvelously and almost packs more of a punch now I reckon that when it was published 
+ some incredible quintessential dark British humour
+ an excellent tale of morality, ethics, and a great case of why people who are bigoted are stupid!! 
+beautifully written as always 
+an acessible and easy to read book that is able to successfully capture complex ideas.
