Cancer

Yesterday I was enjoying a glass of a not inexpensive Rioja while reading the newspaper. The headline screamed at me that my chances of getting cancer will increase if I drink alcohol and don't eat enough fruit. It just so happened that the tasting notes of the wine I was drinking were near at hand. They declared that my wine's flavour was full of blackcurrant and gooseberry. The thought occurred to me that I could both live longer and grow richer by foregoing the wine and eating blackcurrants and gooseberries instead. The thought didn't last long and I had another glass.

Cheers to that Bob. Don't believe what is screamed at you from the front page. Thanks for your e-mail. Keep drinking wine. What did you do at the BBC? Middle Ditch is going to be broadcasted on worldradioparis. I don't know when yet but will let you know.
