WOULD the 'gentleman' who saw fit to relive me of a silver coloured and gold Parker pen from my bookstall in The Shambles shortly before midday on Tuesday November 18 care to visit my stall again as I have a book he could buy (if, indeed, such a word exists in his vocabulary) entitled Learning To Write.

Albeit perhaps a little advanced for him, aimed as it is for the intelligent three to five-year-old. I would hate to see such a fine writing instrument go to waste.

You know who you are, but more to the point, I know who you are. Unnerving is it not? Sleep well.
