Last night I found a 50 year old Rupert the Bear annual on the charity bookshelf at Barrow-in-Furness railway station. The content was a little raunchier than I remember.

One of the Rolling Stones is a huge Rupert the Bear collector. A former colleague was also a collector and sold some stuff to him. Can’t remember if it was Keith or Bill though. Sorry.
Slightly scary that the Rupert the Bear annuals I had as a child are of a similar vintage. Yikes. Must admit I only really looked at the pictures and read the rhyme rather than the prose. I always was lazy.
There's a line in A High Wind in Jamaica about 'having intercourse with children of their own age'. I naively read it out to the class. Still cringing.

things that he's done…
Scared for life
I'm sure that explains how religion and Trump's popularity exists
