Alan Bennett once called me "you poor sod". You can't put a price on memories like that can you?

No, but I'll give you a quid if I never hear it again.

Fine; you can have that quid back the next time you don't mention the salmon buying incident.

I sold AB a Trek Soho two weeks ago, nice chap

It was fuckin' massive! And he had a Dawes! Oh alright then.

Ha! Even the bike in your story is out of date.

i had tea with him once.
he seemed nice enough.
of the writers i've met it definitely goes:
Bennett>Pullman>>Dawkins

My list would be : Tolstoy>Rimbaud>Archer

Ha! Even the bike in your story is out of date.

Pffft.

He should have stuck with it, clearly.

What salmon buying incident?

Well! Let me tell you, clive. Alan Bennett lives near me, and recently bought a whole salmon from the deli opposite my flat. He rolled up on a Dawes tourer.

There endeth the 'incident'.

Shut the fuck up, will.

Clive must feel just like Howard Carter did when he first saw Tutankhamun's tomb. I know I did the first time I heard it. Now it's more like watching Raiders Of The Lost Ark

Alan Bennett's garden backed onto our daughters' primary school.

No incidents, with or without fish, are recorded.

Look what happened to Howard Carter.

Alan Bennett sucks donkeys
Dennis Potter FTW

I have never met Alan Bennett and have no Alan Bennett stories.

Colin Bennett.

Pffft.

He should have stuck with it, clearly.

Someone nicked his crappy old dawes bike. His publisher bought him a new one as a present

I am Alan Bennett.

In my mind's eye, I see Plurabelle as Mrs Bennet.

:(

No wonder, given his reluctance to lock it up, if that documentary was anything to go by.

That's nice of them. He should be riding a pashley or summat, though.
