    I remember reading her column in Women's World about how she came up with the idea for this poem; she dropped something in the bathroom and had to get down on hands and knees to look for it and felt the draft under the door. The rest is history.

    Only Pam can write and narrate such clever poetry. It’s not just the writing and timing it’s the quirky smiles and pauses. She makes it look so easy. Very clever.

    Thank you Pam. You write about all the important things in life with such good humour and honesty; motherhood in all its stages, family life, everyday struggles. growing old.
    Three of your poems are worth all of the wellbeing policies ever drafted..I absolutely love your poem about the little boys and the canon which I have only just discovered.

    There is another verse but it may be from another poem of Pam's. It goes something like this;
    I bought my husband a exercise cycle,
    The price of it would make a man wince.
    He never got off for a fortnight,
    He hasn't been on the thing since.
    She is priceless, if you haven't seen her live do yourself a favour and do so. It's money well spent.

      On radio 4 and radio 4xtra! I only came to YT to see what she looked like as I just know her voice (I'm of a younger generation). She does not look at all like I'd imagined, even in her younger days!

    Canned laughter wasn't a British invention. It's been used in the US from back in the 50s
    added to that I don't think this is 'canned'

    The "canned laughter" ruins everything! It's a typical silly British invention.
