The last time I saw my Roo was years and years ago in a cupboard and now I think of it I don't think he's there anymore. Mysteriously. I don't like this pattern. Very sinister.

Roo is my brother (Andrew). The last time I saw him was in July.

Jan Needle did something similar with The Wind in the Willows:...his novel Wild Wood, which re-tells the story of The Wind in the Willows from the view of the working class characters in the wood, for whom money is short and employment is hard to find. The carefree actions of the upper-class Toad and friends heavily affect the poor characters of the wood, such as Toad's chauffeur, who loses his job. The book was generally seen as a comment on the Margaret Thatcher-led Tory Government and the changes in British society at the time, and was blocked from publication for several years.[

I wish the PC brigade would stand aside for a minute and let Enid Blyton off the hook so we could have an adaptation of The Magic Faraway Tree series A Good old fashioned BBC version would be nice - or perhaps something Dreamworks might do well, provided they stick to the script! |

Who are the 'PC Brigade'? Do they have uniforms? How does one join? |

Who are the 'PC Brigade'? Do they have uniforms? How does one join? I wish someone would tell me. It sounds like a good racket, I'd happily join them Imagine having the power to ban things like twiglets and party streamers! |

We always play Poo sticks when we go over bridges...unless it happens to be the Dartford Crossing. I don't get out there...  |
