Hi Alison, thank you for your lovely comments. I was so pleased to hear from you and yes I do remember your husband Mark from St Joe's (big chap, straw-coloured hair - I don't know if I should say this, but he always reminded me for some reason of Dick Van Dyke's giant rag doll character in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - I hope that won't mean that you suddenly see him in a different light!). I'd love to know whether I knew the person who forwarded the link to you - I know that one or two others (Angela Regan, Natasza Giemza) who worked with us at Sainsburys have read the book. As you might have discovered through reading, you were quite admired by many there including me, and I believe I wrote you a letter once which probably went a bit too far - I'm sorry for that. I had great fun remembering and writing about those times and I am glad that they brought back some happy memories for you too. I have some spare copies of the book that the publisher gave me for free for promotional purposes - I'd be happy to send one to you if you would like - there aren't many of us who have been immortalised in print for all eternity. Let me know your address details at mike@mjharper.fsnet.co.uk if you would like one. All the best and I hope this finds you well. Mike

Hi , I was forwarded this link to this book as I am in it! I was Alison Clark and I did work at Sainsbury's in Norbury. Really funny accounts of working there and actually of living during that era. I actually am married to someone who was in Mickey's year at St Joseph's College called Mark Davis and he remembers the same characters and stories from the school.
Thanks for taking me back to my youth xx

I really enjoyed the first few chapters. The spiral downwards from exciting prospect is painful to read as it unfolds. Well done. Backed. Perhaps you would take a moment to look at my book too?
Thanks

Thanks for your comments Missy, very much appreciated:~) Mike

I love the nostalgic feel to this, you brought that time period alive! The style is great and your pacing is just the reight speed. I got involved quickly and sayed in volved. Kept forgetting this was a biography, thanks for sharing this with us.
