I knew the Graham Greene questions - but too slow on the uptake! Oh and the earlier Eric Blair questions - Burmese Days, Keep the Aspidistra Flying, Road to Wigan Pier and all that.

Essential point of note for them what's chasing a pay rise in a post-Covid Britain. Striking and other union actions aint gonna hack it.

They're semi-regulars at the UFES meets at Deans. They sit at the far table though, whispering to each other with a confused look on their faces.

Oh bloody he'll, you've gone all JackS on us and given some tough ones. Only know one so a few guesses.

1. War of the Worlds as he wrote it!
2. Vertigo? I think Jimmy Stewart was in a few of his movies. No idea about the tart.
3. They are from the small village of Tollpuddle in Dorset. All I can tell you.
4. Norfolk.
5. Adder and grass snake. No clue what the 3rd is as only though we had 2.
