Friday evening. There's a knock on the door. It's a young man wearing a suit, at first I think he's a Jehovah's Witness, but no:
'Hi, I'm a journalist from the Mail on Sunday. I just wanted to ask - did you see a car-jacking that took place in this street this week?'
'No... but if I had, do you think I would speak to someone from your nasty Nazi rag about it? Be off with you, or I'll set the dogs on you' is what I didn't say.
(What a wasted opportunity to abuse a minion from the Mail. And now I think about it - door-stepping people about car-jacking - utterly bizarre!)

Oh darling, how marvellous. I'm commenting before even reading what you've written, out of sheer loyalty and sycophancy. So glad you haven't given up on us altogether.
Did she ask how much your house is worth? They always include that in the Mail.
Welcome back, darling. Spinny's back as well, so most of my harem-cum-posse is happening.
He's probably looking for material to pad out some crummy, scaremongering article about the worst places to live according to Location, Location, Location (Hackney - 12th) but too scared to go to Middlesbrough.
Welcome back.
Cheers, BiB, your loyalty makes me go a bit misty...
Tim, no, because it's a *whisper* council estate - I'm guessing we fall into the Mail reader category of dirty dole-scrounging scum rather than desirable home-owning People Like Us.
It is a privilege to be part of your harem...
Thanks, King of Scurf!
You're absolutely right. It may well be the 12th worst place to live, but I'm not going to traitorously diss it to the Mail.
PS take a look at Ben Locker’s great Hackney A-Z project - photos here
You're back! Huzzah!
Quick dear, fetch the bunting. :D
I once ended up in an argument about the Daily Mail in a petrol station. They kept trying to give me a free copy. I kept refusing cos I didn't want tory filth in me house. In desperation (gawd knows why he was so desperate?) the bloke behind the counter said 'you can use it as toilet paper for all I care'.
Imagine my response... ;)
Another plug for the A-Z - you're doing me proud. Got a small number trickling in.
Car jackings seem to be a bit fashionable at the moment. I was thinking of learning to drive, but I'll check to see which driving school gets jacked the least frequently...
I once got a free Daily Express with a chocolate bar. The Express is loads worse than the Mail.
Best badge I've ever seen said "Hated by The Daily Mail" on it. I bought it for my friend as the ultimate compliment.
Welcome back. Missed you.
Quink, I feel quite emotional whenever I hear of another grownup who can't drive yet. Let's form a club!
I have no idea about the Express Billy. What is it for?
Del - superb!
Great to see you're back!
Annie! Welcome back m'dear, you've been missed.
Daily Mail: What can I say that hasn't already been said? Oh, and hooray for non-drivers!
Thanks Alda, and Marsha!
Marsha, now they're at the door, demanding comment! Booo!
oh goodie - you're alive! Yayy!
Don't you have access to any rabid kiddies you could set on him?
I'm not allowed to take them home Llewtrah - which I'm quite glad about really.
Soz Rad, I missed you. I wonder why he was so desperate to get rid of it?
I think he was just shocked that someone didn't want a freebie. It was tres funnee :)
