My Boy.

Okay, since my computer is nearly back to normal, I thought I'd pass on this story from my son.
During his break from University, he's been "working" at local golf tournaments, selling tickets, working scoreboards etc. Apparently, there's a couple of older guys in the team and one of them turned up wearing a flat cap. His mate immediately said to him "You look just like Andy Capp!" He then turned to my son and said " You won't have heard of Andy Capp so you won't know who we're talking about".
"I've heard of him", replied my son and left it at that.
He is SO proud of me.

I find that quite shocking, Roger. Had it been me, they'd have been begging me to get your autograph just to get rid of me after a couple of hours. I used to tell everyone that would listen about my father's heroic career in the Flying Squad, with particular mention of the times he almost lost his life in three Glasgow west end shoot-outs with the local mobs.

Okay, so he was a child psychologist, but they weren't to know. Where's the harm?
I apologise, in advance.

And what's your point, Roger? My son disowns me at every opportunity, too. He tells people his dad writes Beau Peep ... hang on ...
