I'd love to see one of Ramsey's stories done in pics like that. I wonder what The Interloper would look like.

This is a spoof right?

The illustrations aren't - they look as if they're taken from an actual Ladybird book c. 1950 - but the text certainly is.

Anyone else think of Jack Warner and Dixon of Dock Green when they looked at the illustrations? 'Allo, allo, allo, wot's all this then?'

Yep, Dixon of Dock Green.
Watched it every week in the fifties and sixties for its good acting and special effects. ;-)

Sigh. Yes, those days.
Was talking about telephones today, and how not many people had them and had to go out in the rain or some such if you needed to make a call, and use the phone book that would be lying there nearly every time.
God how I hate mobile phones, even though I love mine. In fact if I was PM I would make it so only me and my friends could use them. Using buses now is a nightmare because of the racket the chavs play on them - and yes, it is invariably chavs. The emos just blast it out of their ipod headphones (ysterday one guy's music was so loud i could hear it over the music playing on mine - and the noise of the engines, which I'd deliberately sat near).

It would be great to see chavs with giant ear tumors. They'd probably see it as a mark of how hard they were.

"Woah. And that tattoo on it is wicked."
