"Slappers'': Chapter One starts new chapter. Is this right?

The Chapter One issue was related to smoking. They had the front bit soundproofed, all fine. Then smoking ban and people were let out to smoke - so every couple of minutes loud music blared out, annoying SGR residents. Complaints and owner told to quieten down. Instead the owner decided to put the sound system in the, un-soundproofed, back of the bar - assuming a small wall would do to contain the pumping house. Cue me and others getting sleepless nights as the low rumble hit the right frequency and my flat started shaking.

I do vaguely wonder whether it's part of the gag with TT that his wife is called Dorcas. It did appear in the top three of a recent article about 'Biblical names you don't see anymore', right after Jezebel and Nebuchadnezzar - but there are three generations of Dorcas in my mum's family.

Giles Brandreth's children, incidentally, are called Benet and Aphra. And don't seem to mind that.

You should meet Annunziata Rees-Mogg.

And hands off my wife or you may find my children giving you the full fried Flump treatment.
