Whisky Galore

Today I sold Compton Mackenzie's ten volume autobiography. Yes, you heard that right, ten volumes.

To those who ask, "What did we do before Facebook?" the answer is simple.

We wrote ten volume autobiographies.

I've never read a ten volume autobiography. Neither have I read anybody's complete Facebook timeline.

Were I to do either, I expect I would enjoy the former more.

Incidentally, the purchaser said he had heard of Facebook, but never actually looked at it.

I like my customers.

I'll punch your lights out

This is Emily Davison.

She died under the feet of the King's horse at The Derby in 1913.

Legend has it that she did so, of her own volition, in order to secure free and fair voting rights for women.

Shortly after I voted at this Polling Station this morning, men began threatening to punch each others lights out.

My commitment to living and working in Tower Hamlets is rockier tonight than it has been for thirty years.

That makes me very sad.
