Publishers seem to go out of their way to keep the truth from their authors. A book of mine once went into paperback via the simple procedure of ripping off the hardback covers and glueing the pages inside soft covers

Totally agree. Also, @RachelReevesMP has risked ยฃ14bn+ of public funds on Sizewell C - the same flawed EDF EPR design as Hinkley Point C, choosing to prop up the ailing French nuclear industry & big business over 'working people' & the rest of the UK population!

It was the 2nd episode, 'Pulp Non-Fiction', written October '04. The inspiration was a newspaper story from a couple of years earlier about Jeffrey Archer. He had been held in an open prison - Lincolnshire? - where the inmates were sent to work in a book pulping facility. An obvious fate for Ed
You deserve a telegram from the King
Tried not to be too specific but, obvious to locals, I suppose
Hard to do without Andy but it's being given some thought. Thank you
There's to be an Ed Reardon omnibus on Radio 4Extra this Sunday at 6pm. The repeat fees have already been spent.

Ed enters the property market next Monday in a simply stunning slot - situated twixt the buzzy bustle of 'The World at One' and the rural idyll of 'The Archers', all but a stone's throw from the creative mecca of 'A Good Read'.

Writers are increasingly asked to work for nothing. Whether or not you're a Guild member, if it's happened to you in the last 12 months and you've been asked by a salaried producer or editor to work for free then do complete this survey. www.surveymonkey.com/r/WGGBEviden...
Thought only writers and actors were treated that way
Keep thinking the Mildmay Line is down but it's the new quiet trains gliding over the nearby railway bridge. They're called Altom Aventras. Evidently their welded parts make them lighter, and they're built (it says) in a Derby train factory which opened in 1840.
This metaphor catches the confused thinking about test cricket. Is it an adrenaline-drenched entry on the diary app or a carrot-caked dozefest in red trousers?
Series 16 of 'Ed Reardon's Week' is in the can. As always, verisimiltude is our watchword.
