Thank you Ros and everyone else who contributed. I knew that you were bound to get teetotal into my birthday somehow (I was half expecting to be sent to an AA meeting!). You did brilliantly. Tom Baker was the Doctor for me, so you were spot on (my brother, just a couple of years older, was a Jon Pertwee man!). Nora Batty! That's what we poor Yorkshire women have hanging over us as a promise of middle age!
You sent me to Bradford! Heaven help me! It was described as being the closest thing to hell on earth in the nineteenth century (not much better now). Mind you, that's where a lot of the busines for the wool industry was carried out so there would be some money for my socks and robes too.
Thank you again. This was brilliant and such a lovely thing to read before starting my day. This has to be the funniest birthday present I've ever had.
