St. Martins publicity department said today that Gosh TV wants me to answer some questions on the book. Happy to oblige, I said, even though I don't know what Gosh TV is - yet. I am sure I will soon.

"Gosh" is an expression that went out in Britain years ago, meaning "wow". I still catch myself using it sometimes. I used it today, when Kath said that she'd had a totally unsolicited letter from Camden Council's parking department, saying that they'd decided they had made a mistake with the parking ticket they gave her a while ago - so they were refunding her fine.

WHAT????????

GOSH!!!!!!!!!!

These are the people who put parking tickets on ambulances on emergency calls! Or on cars parked one inch outside of the white lines.

I think I just saw a pig flying past the window.
