My peak was a seventeenth century housewife whose house had one of the new bake ovens popping down to the kitchen to make gingerbread to amuse a child. I spent days yelling Do you know how long that would take?

Benefits were adequate if you got all you were entitled to, but I hope never again to see the entire younger population of my home town having to leave to get work. The queues at Lime Street on a Sunday night of people going back to their jobs were heartwrenching.

Noticed the BBC edited this post when they mentioned it this morning so it looked less like the ramblings of a demented narcissist. Bet he won't complain about that!

I have been called many shortened versions of my name, and I answer to them if there's no time to take them on, but I always tell people the full thing, and by and large it is respected.
