This one will definitely be remembered as an all time great  Very Happy

I don't read books tbh. I can't help thinking I'm wasting precious time in my life where I could be watching tv or playing Xbox or anything basically.

Unless I'm on the bog. I read the whole Alex Ferguson autobiography whilst sat on the shitter.

Not all in one sitting obviously.........

I'd be embarrassed to admit that. It's a good job we're not relying on you to educate the next generation.

How would reading loads of books help me educate the next generation?

I just don't like to read novels. Rather watch a film.

The film must be a proper stinker then because that book is one of the biggest piles of unadulterated horse shit that it has ever been my misfortune to have read.

Utter tripe.

On several levels.....

Knowledge is power. You don't gain knowledge from playing childish computer games.

That's why you're a bum and I'm 'Preston Businesswoman of the Year'. Twice.

Yes, you've said that before, and I accept it's sacrilege to mention it in the same breath as Middlemarch! Different level altogether, but whilst I know several people who hated it as fiercely as you, I also know just as many who thought the plot was utterly gripping . For what it's worth, it featured for a long time in the book charts (after Judy Finnegan recommended it! .......no comment necessary, Bread!!) I was trying to provide different types of novels so that everyone could find at least one they liked.

Name some books that would give me great knowledge.

I watch documentaries for that.

Used to love books on the secret seven and Mr. Pink whistle when I was a kid! Very Happy

Any Adrian Mole book by Sue Townsend.

All stone cold classics that taught me about life and made me the woman I am today.
