I tend to write humour into my fictional retellings of incidents. It never seems funny at the time, but over time the absurdity comes true. Lovely writing btw 👌

Thankyou for your wartime insights. I studied WW2 at training college, but knew very little about wartime Portugal so your novel has inspired to research some more . Intriguing. I also love the Savoy Vignette and insights into their air raid shelter arrangements. It's episodes like this that bring your novel to life.

I also thought Hit Parade was a modern invention, but you got it bang on, of course. (It's historical accuracy especially such as this, that makes all the difference, together with exploring the impact on ordinary people trying to lives in extraordinary circumstances) Sorry I know I've strayed far from your character Bing, who was indeed a real cad. ( haven't quite finished novel yet)

Can't wait to see the plot unravel.
