So here's a thing. I help run my local food bank, and we're doing this: 12 Days of Christmas Giving.
It's the busiest time of year for us and we have to build up our stocks right through December.
I know you're not in N4, but all food banks are in the same boat, so if you can help please do! 🙏🎄

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

This is a great piece about modern London. If I was still writing The Bill I'd be straight on the phone to my producer

My novel The Rotters’ Club has been an AS Level set text with one board.
When I was new to Twitter I thought it might be a fun idea to search the titles of my books. The first post I found read simply: ‘My English teacher can shove The Rotters Club up her arse.’

US and UK friends, I'm curious: What books were part of your required reading for highschool literature class? Which of them do you remember loving, and which did you loathe?
