Publishers seem to go out of their way to keep the truth from their authors. A book of mine once went into paperback via the simple procedure of ripping off the hardback covers and glueing the pages inside soft covers

Totally agree. Also, @RachelReevesMP has risked Β£14bn+ of public funds on Sizewell C - the same flawed EDF EPR design as Hinkley Point C, choosing to prop up the ailing French nuclear industry & big business over 'working people' & the rest of the UK population!

It was the 2nd episode, 'Pulp Non-Fiction', written October '04. The inspiration was a newspaper story from a couple of years earlier about Jeffrey Archer. He had been held in an open prison - Lincolnshire? - where the inmates were sent to work in a book pulping facility. An obvious fate for Ed

Hard to do without Andy but it's being given some thought. Thank you

Ed enters the property market next Monday in a simply stunning slot - situated twixt the buzzy bustle of 'The World at One' and the rural idyll of 'The Archers', all but a stone's throw from the creative mecca of 'A Good Read'.

Keep thinking the Mildmay Line is down but it's the new quiet trains gliding over the nearby railway bridge. They're called Altom Aventras. Evidently their welded parts make them lighter, and they're built (it says) in a Derby train factory which opened in 1840.

This metaphor catches the confused thinking about test cricket. Is it an adrenaline-drenched entry on the diary app or a carrot-caked dozefest in red trousers?
