If you have forty-two
Posted on Wed, 23 Aug 2023
If you have forty-two wristwatches from Ratners Jewellers you will have the right time eighty-four times a day.
One day I will write about the events surrounding the leaving of some of my former workplaces. Sainsbury's was the best story...

I got my A Level results on
Posted on Tue, 22 Aug 2023
I got my A Level results on Friday 13th August 1976. They weren't brilliant grades but they were what I needed for university, though within six months I realised that I didn't need university.
I also went to the pub with three mates. We...

It's a great feeling leaving
Posted on Wed, 23 Aug 2023
It's a great feeling leaving a job.
I was thinking of re-writing Paul Simon's song 'Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover' to fit in with all the jobs I've left but when I counted them up I discovered there'd only been forty-two which would have...

Posted on Mon, 21 Aug 2023
Of course Rhiannon. Good on you and the staff for getting it right,
It takes time to assess what might be the best approach. Many of the people I saw were victims of dementia and sometimes quite aggressive. I had to weigh up each of them...

Posted on Sat, 19 Aug 2023
This is a great story. It kept me wondering to the end... and beyond.
There's probably enough dust and dog hairs in our hoover bag to recreate the Dagenham Girl Pipers.
I'll be back in a few days...

For children there are few
Posted on Mon, 21 Aug 2023
For children there are few places more mysterious and exciting than a wood. Every tree and every small clearing is a source of intrigue and adventure. And every noise is that of a wild beast coming to eat us up until we see that it's only a...

Your ability to make
Posted on Sun, 20 Aug 2023
Your ability to make Birmingham sound like such a beautiful place emphasises your skill as a wordsmith. I'm tempted to book a holiday there.
The raising of Madam Medusa's head gave me the shivers a bit but put a timestamp on your writing....

I had to go and Google this but it’s beautiful music. The sombre sound from the ‘cello is perfect for being murdered to.
Succinctly, you’ve described the incident very well, creating an atmosphere of a surreal crime scene that I could...

Telling folks that you were
Posted on Thu, 17 Aug 2023
Telling folks that you were in a drinking game with a room full of soft toys is a great way to explain away a hangover. I might try that one myself.
I like the Benny Hill Show reference too. When you made your dash for it were you being...

I like these words...
a fledgling
has never seen the face of its mother.
No wonder they grow up with behavioural problems.
