And... Exhale.
Many thanks for the kind, generous and thoughtful messages which have arrived since last night.
With much regret, I fear that such is the volume I may have to forego my customary habit of trying to reply personally to each one that comes in.

Exploring the world & characters created by Colin Dexter has been the greatest privilege for over four decades. Now, at last, with affection and gratitude, I return the keys to the Jag to their rightful owner.
Thanks, Colin. I did my best not to scratch the paintwork.

One or two have noted that I’m not on here much at the moment. In truth, the account is more or less dormant. Nothing sinister.
I hope you’ll forgive me if - for a while at least - I dip contented oars.
Meantime — mind how you go.

It's like watching Wile E. Coyote paint a tunnel for the road runner. Then a train comes out of it and hits him. Then Romanian police get off the train and arrest him for human trafficking.

We already do not have enough skilled crew to keep up with the production boom in this country, esp as Brexit killed freedom of movement/work within EU. There needs to be a huge investment in training, outreach, apprenticeships. Not least to increase diversity.

Everyone who has a business dealing with the EU knows Brexit has been a disaster for us. The problem is getting politicians who have staked their reputations on it to acknowledge it, admit it and then act on addressing it. Until then the disaster will continue to unroll.

Lots of people remember the great 1976 TV adaptation of THE SIGNALMAN, which was shown at Christmas for many years.
This new radio adaptation with @JamesPurefoy and me continues the tradition of having the solstice bejesus scared out of you

We have an eerie treat for you. On Christmas Day, just after the King’s Speech, Charles Dicken’s great short story The Signalman gets a brilliant and spooky new @BBCRadio4 adaptation by @JHollowayPlays.
The great Sam West is The Signalman. I am The Visitor. We hope you enjoy it..
