Historian and freelance writer

@JohnGosling4 No, I only do the Cold War Era as it is somewhat neglected in comparison to the 1918-1945 era. I write for The Armourer on Warsaw Pact subjects as, again, they're largely neglected by other historians.

@james666puncher Hello Muncher, Looks as though I'm entered into Round 2. The manager said he thought I'd do well there. My feeling was good. Think I could be happy at Nissan.

@SerenityBecca Hello Roo, Thanks for the lovely Xmas card. Yes, we MUST see you in 2018. Love Richard and co.

@WOWtweetUK @SerenityBecca @MayorofLondon Shame it wasn't on equal terms with men. Equal voting rights not until 1928!

@SkyHawksGamers Hello David, So what are you doing now you've left school?

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

Olympia publishing are currently reading the full manuscript. Awaiting their response in 2 to 3 weeks!

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

A publisher has asked to see my manuscript! It might not sound much, but it's a big step forward. It could mean a publishing contract!

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

Submitting my completed novel to a publisher tomorrow. The end of a looooong project! Hoping it lands with a thump. Wish me luck!

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

@SkyHawksGamers David, how could I forget my best pupil! Are you 19 yet? (That's when I'm allowed by law to follow you on Twitter)

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

@realbasilbrush Freya and I saw you in Cambridge yesterday. Great show. Will you be in next year's Robin Hood? If so, we'll be there!

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

@keithchegwin Saw you in Cambridge yesterday. Great performance, you looked as though you enjoyed every second - the mark of a true actor!

4th April birthday threat - seeing Basil @realbasilbrush in panto with my daughter Freya. Both looking forward to it - Boom, Boom!

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

@realbasilbrush @ChrisPizzey
Hello Basil and Chris. When will you be coming back to Kent. Wanted to see you in panto, but sold out!

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

@realbasilbrush Hello Basil, When will you be back in Kent so that we can see you again? Richard

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

@realbasilbrush We were doing that only this afternoon. Freya likes the phone one best. Being a Hammer Horror fan I liked Count Brushula!

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

@realbasilbrush Rebecca Nutt @ serenity loved you in the '70s too. Really surprise her, please, by sending her a tweet.

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

@realbasilbrush Freya has a joke for you. Why did Basil light the firework? Because he wanted it to go Boom Boom!

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

@realbasilbrush I loved you in the '70s, and I keep going back to the youtube clip of you and Demis Roussos. None of Mr Derrick, sadly

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

@realbasilbrush That's good to hear. I managed to get my daughter a Basil Brush puppet off eBay and now she's totally in love with you.

[Richard Hollingdale @author_richard]

@realbasilbrush My daughter and I really enjoyed the show this morning. Freya wants to know when you'll be back in Maidstone.
