Not always for the better.<br /><br /><br />Jenny, I think he would annoy today if we met him right enough. Anodyne, maybe, but he was writing for a newspaper just after the war, and considering his readers.Adullamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537659871829290071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16539163.post-61423614069237395832023-03-31T09:31:24.213+01:002023-03-31T09:31:24.213+01:00I haven't read his books for years.

Many of the products for sale were made in the UK. In Eastbourne, I could see many people on bicycles, and some were even on horseback! The buses were packed and while there were cars about, it was not that common for most people to have them. My English mother in law always wore a skirt and blouse even indoors as she was doing housework! AND it was the 80's, so the music was good!

He did get a lot of women mind..Adullamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537659871829290071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16539163.post-90739224631209530102023-03-27T02:56:03.339+01:002023-03-27T02:56:03.339+01:00I don't have his books about England, more'...I don't have his books about England, more's the pity.<br />He seemsto have been a rum cuss,but his writing is superb to judge by his books on foreign climes.the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.com
