Roger, when you stop in cafes and motorway service stations and notice builders and lorry drivers reading Andy Capp and Beau Peep, do you just walk past with a knowing smile on your face or do you point to the strip and say: "I wrote that! That's mine!"

Roger would need to acquire a car and learn how to drive first.  ::)

Why would Roger be in a cafe or service station?

He has people to do that for him.

I would suggest that walking past any group of builders with a knowing smile on your face is asking for trouble at the best of times.

What Tarquin said.
I've been in bookshops a couple of times when someone was buying a Beau Peep book but I never said anything. Or smile knowingly.

You didn't get the urge to say: "Here, let me sign that for you."?

I will admit that I have smiled knowingly when I have seen people in bookshops picking up Roger's books, thinking to myself, "I'm personal friends with the author, and you'll really enjoy that.". Unfortunately, it always appears to come across as, "You're not going to buy that, are you?", and they usually put the book down and pick up something by Shakespeare or Jeffrey Archer. Sorry, Roger!  :-[

TT111 you mean they did not know who you were. how crushing to your selfesteem.

Naturally, I would be in disguise when in public. Sometimes as a man of the cloth, other times as an officer of the law. Occasionally as a Doberman Pinscher.

You were the one who peed on my lamp post.

Just one of the advantages of that particular disguise, yes. It's all that, "More tea, vicar?" which brings it on.

Vulture, I realise you are but following convention in this place by the above, but for that particular insult I have been known to sue.

If it wasn't so late and I wasn't so tired, I would sear you with one of my cutting ripostes, you nasty man.

Bloody typical nobody is on line. I go bed and the board goes crazy

Methinks you tell untruths. How would you get your thunder thighs down the legs of such a slender dog costume. I rest my case
