While it’s good to learn something new every day, there are gaps in my inventory of life experiences that might never be filled. I have never sold a car for more than I paid for it. I have never paid for sex. I have never eaten an egg. I have never had a tattoo or a piercing. I have never voted for anyone but Labour. I have never proposed, never been married. I have never been on a stag night. Though I have ventured into a betting shop on half a dozen occasions, I have never needed to go back and collect my winnings. I have read no Dickens, no Jane Austen, no James Joyce, no J K Rowling. I've never been in a courtroom (though this lapse will be remedied soon). I’ve never been arrested, never done time. Unlike Johnny Cash I have never shot a man just to watch him die. And, unlike these people in Malton, I have never seen Superman...
