SOME time ago, the letters page featured a request for stories of life during the Second World War.
The correspondent was hoping to get information for a book he was writing called “Die Laughing”.
I sent him a story I had done for Les Gent’s Looking Back about my life at Montague Burtons.
He was delighted and asked for more of my past articles, which Les Gent always published in full.
He received so much that he is now on his second book.
The correspondent included reviews from as far afield as Canada, Ireland and Australia, all praising the laughter and pleasure the book had given.
He said a big thank you and asked me to pass his comments on to readers.
I will be 80 this week and I am still writing — nice hobby. My daughter is buying me the book on the internet.
