Agatha Christie was home educated, a fact I just acquired inadvertently due to my being dragged up to Totnes Civic Square to meet with a bunch of people pursuing a similar path with their own offspring.
“Well, that’s the debate over the merits finished,” observed my companion.
“Rommel was also home educated,” I added in a loud voice, helping myself to a promotional fairy cake.
“And do you have children?” asked the woman at the centre of this operation.
“Actually, no. I am impotent. Thanks for reminding me.”
“Oh, I am so sorry.”
“No, I mean it, thanks for reminding me. I hate children.”
The policeman.
The policeman?
I thought I may as divulge the killer in **********.
Sorry for the censorship, but let’s not spoil anyone’s fun…
Apple technology just sabotaged the presence of the word ‘well’ in the above comment.
