That's a bit harsh. The thing about all these girls was they were all much younger than him...

one of Mrs Plum's first memories of CH is you shouting my name at the top of your voice at me when I came back for a couple of days...

Yes but I wasn't part of the pack. And I wouldn't go so far as to say I was your only female friend who was older than you, but I don't think there were many...

You weren't totally exclusive in that regard...

Were they all attracted to your piccolo? Another sort of Pied Piper of Hamelin, eh?

Let me put it this way, the piccolo was not regarded as a cool instrument in the band... however, we were 'above' the clarinets in that regard...

So, was the piccolo regarded as 'cool' everywhere else, then?

I doubt it...

No piccolo's in my day !

So how come clarinets now get a mention ?

One's short and very thin, and the other is quite long and black.

There MUST be a moral there somewhere !

Strangely this conversation seems to have gone the way of all the others...
