OVERHEARD IN HARRIS & HOOLE...

(An occasional feature)

3rd May 2026

Myself, Mary Winterbourne, Tony of the Big Saloon and Frances 'Fanny' Dango got together this afternoon in Harris & Hoole.

MARY WINTERBOURNE: Gene I see Detterling is still breathing fire against you. He is threatening to set A.N. Wilson to take legal action against you.

GENE: Yes Mary. I am not concerned. This will never happen. Detterling knows that I have two deadly trump cards up my sleeve. If I use either of them against him the sky will fall on his head. Detterling is all bluff and bluster.

MARY WINTERBOURNE: I see that he and Delia have gone on retreat to Corrymeela.

GENE: Yes a place that's not for me. I can hear Kumbayah being sung around the campfire.

FRANCES 'FANNY' DANGO: Oh! dear. How uncool.

GENE:

ASSISTED SUICIDE

IT SHALL NEVER BE

NOT IN MERRIE ENGLAND

LAND OF THE FREE.
