Well Now! I came home from my hospital bed to see my name "up in lights" on Tarboard. Fame at last, I thought! Looking around and wondering just what I had done to merrit this honour, I saw through the haze before me, the phrase in large bold black letters "Consideration would be given to a new approach to the BBC" and attributed to me. A relapse of my condition quickly set in, particlarly when I realized that the honour was not mine, but due to someone in the front row, or even on the platform, for that matter! Difficult to tell which from my position at the back of the hall (marguee)
Still! Never mind! like the National Lottery, there's always next time.
