Extremely impoverished, this part of rural Peru, though I believe they have regular whip-rounds for the North Midlands That can't be OSP or M Kid - they're both northern! M' T'Kid is northern. I am a north midlander Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

In my experience, you can have a conversation with a frog as long as you only ask them questions about individual books and whether they’ve read them |

Revolution! Reminds me – in the 70s I had the obligatory Che Guevara poster on my bedroom wall. Never had the tennis player scratching her bum. Or scratching Che Guevara’s bum for that matter. Not sure they stocked that one in Athena. |

In reality, the Silly Route to India passes through OSP’s library. When I say ‘OSP’s library’, she doesn’t own it. Though you’d never have guessed it. |

This episode isn't quite as effective as some of the others. Agreed. A bit laugh-lite and hasn't dated well. Can see why they tucked it away second-last in the first series. Like hiding away a naff album track in the middle of Side 2. Edited by Cygnus Bazza on 12-03-2026 20:06 |

Hobnobbing with the locals? I don’t think it’s the hobbing that’s the problem |
