Oh my the one in the tree looking up Dick is too familiar to be healthy. I wonder what that explains about my subsequent development? Excellent post with which to begin the day.

Another great selection, Nicholas. If only we had appreciated the humour when we were young enough to be reading those books!
Best wishes, Pete.
