My daughter is a teaching assistant at a local school and one of the children is classed as special needs. The mother is regularly badgering the school and at a recent meeting turned up with her own personal lawyer.
I saw Spike Milligan live on stage in ‘Son of Oblomov’ in 1966. I took my girlfriend, now wife, to see it. I found him funny at the time but I think she was not so enamoured of him. We were only seventeen.
The others I agree with you.
