“Hello, you’re Tony Blackburn, aren’t you?”
“That’s right: I am indeed. I’m sorry, I don’t know who you are.”
“My name is Mo.”
“Hello Mo. I’m surprised you recognised me.”

I observed his electric blue shell suit, luminous yellow woollen hat and jogging trainers, and shared his surprise. I also decided that, in future, it would be better not to go down the newsagent on a Sunday.

Comments are now closed. Gotta be quicker than that, sunshine! Maybe now would be a good time to subscribe to the RSS feed, and then the latest stuff will come and find you.
