A case of author identity theft!

Dear all,
Someone has been impersonating me. This person has created an email address using my instagram handle. This is not me. If you have received this same email delete it or if you wish explain to the scoundrel they are not the REAL Alex Shaw!

I’ve just had breakfast on the outside terrace of Paul’s, with views of the world’s tallest building the Burj Khalifa. That’s not bad, for a Tuesday morning.

A friend of mine was once arrested for knocking over a Spanish supermarket’s display of oranges 🍊. He was charged with Seville unrest.
