    Wise getting in there early if demand increases. I wonder if I still have mine, might be worth something soon!

    I have not seen anyone coming out in support of this, there is a lot of negative comment about it. Wonder if they’ve been printed yet? Might still be time for a U Turn.

    I really hope so Richard. Maybe they are just testing the water. You can’t run roughshod over the works of one of our best loved children’s author.

    I like the way Roald Dahl’s kinda rhymes with Rolled Oats 😅

    Hobnob anyone?

    A sign of the times and things will only get ‘worse’ in a couple of years time :whistle: .

    It’s the middle classes trying to impose values on the working classes.

    Hmm Ian, just a certain metropolitan type of middle class; one cannot tar all of the Brit middle class with the PC nonsense. :good:

    The effect of fantasy novels on the impressionable….., I guess the writers of the bible could say a thing or two

    There has been a lot of condemnation of this, I think it crosses class, political and other boundaries.

    “one cannot tar all of the Brit middle class with the PC nonsense.”

    Seeing as I regard myself as middle class, I can hardly argue with you, Wilts!

    I meant “those middle classes over there – not us!”
