If you do feel up to to task of lugging a load of dusty old books I am sure you will be able to find someone in a shop that would be only too happy to get a helping hand and leg-up from a more experienced dealer such as yourself. May I also add that your idea of supporting the inexperienced and younger booksellers who may be struggling in the current climate shows you in a good light. A charitable thought, especially at this time of year Regards Rod Retired Bookdealer

Secondly: I would take something impressive to tempt Jordan to Cleethorpes sea front I suspect I could certainly hold something antique whilst wearing the swinwear, though quite what it would promote I cannot say :oops: Jusqu'à mardi Rod I think another venue may be in order WoE

I suspect the real motive behind your generous offer was to get my to endorse your new product and be the poster boy for the campaign. I can just see me walking out of the sea resplendent in a Peruvian loin cloth! Bring a sample tomorrow, I'll try one on and see how it looks, or more importantly how I look in it. I fear if I publish the foto and I don't fill it in a sufficently impressive manner I run the risk of an impotency inducing comment from Jordan that will give me a complex for the rest of my life.

Here’s some more this those unaware of this quality

They say that no man is an island
And good things come to those who wait
But the things I hear are there
Just to remind me
Every dog will have his day

I drink for free till I can’t see
Now I’m blind in Texas
The Cowboys have taken my eyes!

Brings back memories and not just of the band!
Best
