Gavin Atkin Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 There I was innocently browsing Amazon for a book by Phil Bolger about sailing rigs, when I came across this: Concertina My gosh - I was so terribly shocked I nearly spilt my tea on the vicar's cucumber sandwiches. What I want to know, though, is how did it happen that the word 'concertina' should come to be regarded as likely to help sell a book like this? Would anyone here have thought it an obvious choice? And if so, would they like to explain? Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the comments I wanted to post failed the 'I would be willing to have my name associated with that comment in public for a long time' test. But they were very clever. Just not posted.

Del Perhaps it's a sign that concertina playing is gaining a kind of retrospective glamour. I'm looking forward to it... Looking at it another way, I do hope the anonymous be-suited shark who invests my pension for me isn't putting it in this company's shares! Back to work, and looking forward to Box Day in Suffolk...
