- Two pints of bitter and two packets of crisps down The Bell
- a solitary trip to the cinema on Saturday
- off-peak ten-pin bowling for two
- a round of mini-golf for two down the park
- half a ticket to watch Aldershot Town vs Torquay United
- half a bad seat for a show at Chichester Festival Theatre
All these cost me as much (or as little) as a full collection...
DISPLACED They called her aloof, impractical, clumsy, plain. It was, they
say, difficult for her not to fall in love.In spite, that is, of the first

ReplyDeleteI got up for a pee in the night and fell down the stairs so I'm feeling a bit bruised this morning! I actually think that the price of contemporary poetry is a problem. I can buy two good novels from Tesco for seven quid or a slim volume of poetry for ten. I didn't buy Simon Armitage's latest collection simply because I couldn't justify parting with fifteen quid - so I bought yours instead.
