About this author

edit data

Strange name for an English bloke but nobody can choose their parents.

Jo cannot remember being born but assumes he must have been. He has done a fair bit since, including working for a short while on a farm cultivating mushrooms. They were not magic, although, as if by magic, he always got a seat to himself on the bus home after work - work which included manually filling the wooden boxes, in which the mushrooms were grown, with exceedingly fresh horse manure.

On balance, Jo prefers reading and writing books.

Why no mugshot? Jo prefers you judge him by his creativity rather than his personal appearance. You are welcome to ask what the 'logo' means.

(em)Pathe(tic) News

I really ought to find out who the bloke was who narrated the British Pathe News Reels of the 1950s. He embodied the optimistic spirit of the age. Here he is, telling us about the activities of some complete nutters.

And the winner is: A VW Beetle

Eh, lad. They don't make 'em like they used to.
