John Wild Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Does the humane and discreet treatment include learning the concertina? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W3DW Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Alas, recovery requires the desire to change, or at least the conviction that such change could be possible or desirable. I'm afraid such a program would lack for qualified candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely toward those (too) close to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name of the society is 'The Recovering Accordion Players Society'. <pedant off> The relevant Wikipedia page advises: ...Treat these poor afflicted people with respect and understanding, for they are in the grip of a serious affliction...

wes williams Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I expect most of you know, but Ankh-Morpork was an invention of Sir Terry Pratchett. In 2002 Wincanton in Somerset, UK was officially twinned with Ankh-Morpork. There is a shop there called Discworld Emporium . One house further up from the shop used to have a melodeon displayed in its front windows, so I wonder if there was any connection between that and the SteveS original thread post.
