  1. I have discovered two new authors of crime fiction that I can ecommend:


    Gordon Ferris - try "The Hanging Shed". Hero is an ex Glasgow Dtective Sergeant - returned from WWII to a depressed Britain and trying to set himself up as a Crime Journalist in London. Gets dragged back to Glasgow to try and clear and old friend who had a bad war and has been convicted of murder. The tone is dark and the story complex - the writing of a higher order than is usual in much crime fiction. His second book - Truth, Dare, Kill, is set in and around South London, mentions include the George Canning, Ruskin Park, Camberwell Green and Peckham.


    Craig Russell - his "Lennox" trilogy is good. Coincidentally also based around an ex Glasgow Detective Sergeant in a post WWII city. Not quite as good writing as Gordon Ferris - tho' at one point I wondered if it was one writer with two pseudonyms.

  2. You're never more than 5 yards from a rat (rodent kind) in London. It's not reflection on you or your spotless housekeeping. We had similar problem in previous house where the rat, having taken the poison, had somehow climbed into the utility room ceiling to die - and yes the smell was obscene.

    The prevalence of MRSA is related more to good / bad clinical practice than cleaning techniques / practice.
