I spent my time between a Levels and leaving Hertford reading Barbara Cartland, a wonderful antidote to Biology, chemistry and Physics.
I don't think I have read one since.
I am with Jude on the throwing books out. We have Beano annuals going back to 1974 (when I gave my husband one our first Christmas).

Which reminds me, I must get around to cataloguing them one day. I suppose an Excel file would do the trick.

Read a Jackie Collins the other day, just for the experience, you understand. About as erotic as a limp salad. Think I'll stick to the, 'Sent in a Plain Brown Wrapper' variety !

Summat you girls didn't suffer - reception of the ancient order of the cane and slipper. As for the other type of stroking, one boy tried it once - he didn't try it on me again!cj wrote:Could you tell us what (or who) you were stroking?

I got 2nd place - I think.
