@bertsbooks@mikegayle 2/2...Mike Harding helped to move shelving when his event proved so popular we ran out of room. And Ben Elton sent a hand written letter when he had to cancel an event at short notice.
@bertsbooks@mikegayle I've had so many wonderful authors visit my stores over the years, and only 1 nasty event. Jilly Cooper sent me a hand written note after I reviewed her book in an instore magazine, and bought chocs to thank me after an event.... 1/2
@DeborahMeaden My aunt lived in sheltered housing with heating which was always on, and over which she had no control. Every year she would receive the cold weather payment. For no apparent reason. The temperature made no difference to her. I don't believe this should be universal either.
