This is probably right, Daisy, about Enid Blyton name not registering at first. Sadly though when I point out the books etc, still not many hands are raised. The children still go for JK Rowling, Walliams and a few others that even I don't know! :)

I always feel that's such a shame that my beloved author isn't top number one anymore in their eyes. :|

What a missed opportunity. I must say that beats Tony's excuses for not getting involved with the media! :wink:

Well, there's also the fact that I absolutely despise being filmed!
"It's the ash! It's falling!" yelled Julian, almost startling Dick out of his wits...
"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.
