A couple of random stories I had a look at and highly recommend:
'Sixties Girls' by Helen
Excellent, touching and funny poem, with a simple but effective rhyme scheme. Nostalgic pacy piece of poetry.
'Insulated Conductor' by Ed_Bruce
This is a brilliant short story, with verve and a real street wise voice. Very individual and unique. Dry humour and lots of east end swagger. Don't know if the author is a genuine east ender, but a little criticism is that the use of rhyming slang felt a little forced, almost out of place. Apart from that, really first class. Read this guy!

Just to let people know (although I'm beginning to suspect I'm the only person who has read this thread), Storyshed is closed again for the moment. Many thanks to the people who have joined.
