Innocently Browsing Amazon

[Gavin Atkin]

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?

Well, she might be a pretty sweet squeeze!

Hi Gavin,

I think we've already kicked this one around!

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.

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...
