Being a Tuesday I was again joined by Margaret Mills who provided us with the story of a well known 19th century authoress who, back in 1852 published a book – “LADY AUDLEY”S SECRET” which was set in Essex and featured a number of ostensibly fictitious characters based on real people. Being the “J K ROWLING” of her day, her novels were always best sellers but some of the Essex locals who read the book recognised themselves and were less than flattered by how they had been described! Listen again to what Margaret had to say on this subject by clicking on the link below: –

We also heard about the Christmas crackers containing items such as the keys to a luxury yacht and a top of the range Aston Martin. Wonder what the jokes and Christmas hats are like!

Right that’s me done for today. See you again tomorrow.
