I'd never heard of that before, Sue. Tried it myself a while back when I read that it was easier for left-handers and they're quite right...

Read the book and watched the film. And thought both excellent 👍

Thoroughly agrree, Mad. I've just finished reading his "SS-GB" - thoroughly enjoyed it. I gather they made a TV series on it quite a few years back, which I totally missed frown

With luck it'll still be rolling around on iPlayer or ITVX or somewhere...

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
