Now I don't want you to think I am in any way obsessed my brothels, massage parlours and the like - perish the thought! - but you must admit it that it is a strange and wonderful coincidence that 15 years ago almost to the day (Thursday 22nd April 1993) the following column appeared in the Evening Advertiser.

As the Germans say, plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose ...



Just as remarkable is the fact that today marks exactly a year since my first blog (23rd April 2007). That's 144 postings in 12 months or precisely 12 per month or 2.76 per week.

Here's to the next twelve months!

LFA... It occurs to me that the writer of the original article 15 years ago has a remarkably similar style to that in your current blog. Is it possible that the Swindon Spotlight article was also penned by LFA? If not, it is indeed remarkable that you could find it.

An additional point, was it coincidence that your blog started on St George's Day? Whatever the case, long may your articles continue. I, for one, enjoy them!
