Beckenham

So we went.

She was actually born in Beckenham in Kent.

What was it like being in a much bigger hospital, I'm guessing? Much bigger hospital.

Yeah, and being one of many, many people rather than a small ward.

much bigger hospital.

It had like three floors.

Maternity hospital, St Mary's in Beckenham.

Actually, I had my roast.

My chase turned, therefore, in that direction, and in reply to a letter of inquiry, I received the following answer.

Dear Sir Arthur, I am so glad you like the fairies.

I should be only too glad to help in any way if I could, but there is so little I can do.

Andy in Beckenham.

What about younger generations' energy bills and water bills? Where's their triple lock? This is political cowardice and nothing more.

Just abolish it.

My husband was a graphic designer, so he could work a little remotely or quite a lot remotely, actually.

And then I was like, what am I going to do? And one day I was swimming in Beckenham public swimming baths.

And I was desperately trying to think, what am I going to do to earn money? And I was trying to think of all the rich people I knew.

And honestly, this list was like Richard Branson, J.K. Rowling.
