@Lynne , i have been informed you are something to do with fodh? can you confirm or deny please?
Just wanted to share with you all my experience of the mobile butcher who visits the Car Boot on a Wednesday. He's the same guy as last year, excellent quality at fabulous prices. (no I'm not on commission!) Thoroughly recommended. He's there until 3pm today.
@ Gary, yes you are right, we were unable to get sufficient stock in time for Caz to be able to take them to the Luscombe event. I am now happy to say that the Snooky Trust now stock 'In the Roots' and will also have 'Visitors' (written for children) in stock soon. My Father has bulk purchased both titles direct from the publisher so as to get a lower unit price - thereby increasing the ...
Thank you everyone for your comments. @Neoliberal Democrat , thank you for the information, i will make my father aware of it and see how he wants to proceed. I understand why so many of you are saying 'get a life - nothing will change'. And in the short term, I'm sure you're right. I can't and won't turn a blind eye to such things.

When it comes to the phrase 'we're not in the business of upsetting people', three people heard the whole conversation, as previously stated, Father is hard of hearing and always has it on speaker phone.

However, seeing as they wanted his book written for children, and not the one with the gay storyline, ...
I doubt very much if anyone would be daft enough to put their real reasons on paper. Just for clarification, as my Father is hard of hearing, he always has the phone on speaker phone. I heard the conversation myself and the phrase 'we're not in the business of upsetting people'. If anyone would like to challenge the Friends of Dawlish Hospital as to why they turned down funds, please feel ...
It's not a Charity Shop, it's the Friends of Dawlish Hospital.
The book is set just after the Second World War when the Black Market was rife and homosexuality was illegal. It's called 'In the Roots' by Bob Chapman. It is on Amazon, but the Snooky Trust will have it in stock soon. As for who it's meant to upset - your guess is as good as mine.
