I know at least one or two MyLotters have also written other things. Now I’m wondering how many members have written a book? And was it published – if so how, where and by whom? Did you send the manuscript to a publisher in the...

@Ronrybs Well when it works, yes it saves a lot of time in trips to the library, trying to get to the bank in your lunch break and such. But when it doesn't work the alternatives often aren't available any more.

@porwest All those famous writers who said they could have papered the walls with their rejection letters before they finally found a publisher willing to take them on!

We went to the big Tesco again today. My Mum didn't know if she'd be up for coming but in the end she did and she sat on a bench again while he went round the shop. I got rid of the soft recycle and then we went up on the lift....

@xFiacre The other day I heard a member of the House of Lords condemning someone else's use of hyperbole - except she pronounced it 'hyper-bowl'. How embarrassing on national radio!

And in the 1980s and 90s. My then boyfriend worked on the development of some of the earlier mobile phones.
