Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Columba - didn't we discuss Elizabeth is Missing on a Thames Bridges Challenge?
I feel like you recommended it to me. I do remember really enjoying the book (and, indeed, our time together on the TBC :-) )

I think it was me that first recommended London Belongs To Me, I’m glad everyone has enjoyed it so much. Maybe I should’ve made it my book group choice.

My Mum was born in 1931 in London. Whilst children were being evacuated her mum insisted her children would stay together “If we go, we all go together “ she’d say.

Somehow I missed your comment about London Belongs to Me. Sounds like you enjoyed it as much as I did too :-)

Bint - we discussed a lot of things on that TBC! I'd forgotten that Elizabeth is missing was one of them, but I do remember it was a very enjoyable run.

One of the reasons Lee Child is held in such high regard is the shiteness of the competition.
