Me and my friends were obsessed with flashers back in my childhood during the late 60s. Any poor chap who wore a mac and walking the streets (probably off to the shops to buy a packet of Benson and Hedges ) was reported to the police. We were doing our duty to keep flashers off the streets of Bristol. We thought we were the Famous Five or Secret Seven. The local police station got fed up with us and threatened to go and talk to our parents.
I'm sure that my dad had a mac!
Just received my copy of Tis The Damn Season. Can't wait to start it! xx
Well I just spent some well chosen minutes reading your thought provoking article on my iPad.
Yes I agree with you all the way - but the things that do annoy me are the mothers who push their buggies reading their phones with a crying baby and pushing it across a road without looking. Going out for a meal, at home or on holiday and every member of the family are on their phones even the high chair users and nobody knows what they are eating or enjoying each other’s company.
I had forgotten about boil-in-the-bag fish! Square cod in parsley sauce, what a delight. Hopefully the Genzies are looking up fish recipes on their phones too.
Hi Fiona! It’s great to hear from you, you funny young lady. Here’s my two cents worth: the Internet, like practically every other thing except Sarin gas, has its upside and its downside. In a sense I owe my life to the eggheads who developed the weapons that obliterated two cities in Japan in 1945. Fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and even though I’m walking around these days with a charcoal briquette where my prostate used to be, at least I’m walking around. No surgery needed, just forty-five painless sessions of radiation. Love ya, honey. Keep us laughing. PLEEEEEZE.

Anyway well said Fiona.
