Looks a really good book A4 size, glossy cover and lots of photos, stats and a lot of content taking us right back to the 1970s.

The book has some great photos in it,yes a bit pricey.

Give over.
Your 'factual knowledge' is that you don't know if Jim Platt has any friends?
Why did you feel the need to share that with everyone? Why would you even suggest he might not have any friends?
Of course it came across as a nasty dig. Especially on a thread which had a few other digs at him.

He was asked the question about his friends. Why wouldn't he answer?
Why complain about people making digs about him. He was a good goalkeeper, but that doesn't mean he's is lily white in everything he does now. He's chosen to go into politics. He should be prepared that people will disagree with his perspective on things.

Because that's how he works. If you're not Labour, you're fair game.

The question was whether Platt calls his friends comrades. I doubt it was a serious question and don't really understand it to be honest.
But to answer with 'I have no idea if he has any actual friends' is an obvious dig.
Fair enough if that's what The Lodger wanted to do, but to then try and make out it was simply a 'factual answer' to a question is a bit disingenuous.
If he felt a need to answer he could have just said 'I don't know' and left it there.
I didn't complain about people disagreeing with his politics, but thought the 'no friends' comment was a bit more personal and nasty. It had nothing to do with his perspective on things.

Maybe because I was asked?
I speak to Jim every week and made a point that he was a lovely guy to talk to, but you obviously missed that.
Anyway move on, stop looking to for cheap digs when I post.

Cheap digs. The irony.
And you werent asked if he had any friends. You added that nugget yourself.
I didn't miss it, but;
"He's a lovely guy to talk to, but he does have -how can I say it, some old fashioned views."
Hardly a ringing endorsement of his character.

£20/30 is the going rate for a book these days, cheaper if you buy from Amazon.
I would email because Jim was only printing limited numbers. He had run out last week from his first batch.
Email at sharonplatt@me.com . It is £25 + The P&P charge of £5. You could email first and ask about it.
Brilliant, thank you for your help.
