There was a geezer with a foreign name who used to advertise every week in the melody maker asking for someone to write a song on this very subject.

I knew nothing about it, so of course I didn't write anything for a year or two - but time passed and I took a teaching contract for a few months at a special school for autistic children.

Its a while back, but I rather think I wrote something for the guy - cos he was still running the advert. As I remember he put an insert into Bandit - the songwriters worksheet. I'm pretty sure I wrote something, but I know I never got a reply from him.

I'd like to say I can dig it out, but I have no idea what I wrote.

Its not a disablity that's easy to explain - like Jake the Peg, with a extra leg.........! It was 1995 I was at the school I still have my computer in the garage from then. I'll have a look.

best wishes and thanks for all that luv - folkie dave and jack campin (loitering within tent) are saying nasty things about me on other threads (what little bitches!) - so I appreciate it.
