Evening Telegraph (First Edition)
I look taller in the paper than on TV!
“YOU’RE . . . don’t tell me. It’ll come to me . . . that girl, off the telly . . . hammer, that’s it . . . Homes Under the Hammer.”
I smiled and blushed at the lady in a shop in Dundee.
“I don’t watch daytime TV,” says her pal. “Some of us are too busy for that. But I read you in the Tele.”
The first woman came back with: “Can’t say you look like you though. You kind of look like you do on the TV, but not really.”
“Shorter?” her pal asked.
“No, just a bit, well, different,” was the answer.
The woman at the counter chimed in: “I watch Hammer all the time but I don’t recognise you.
“I read the paper though – I thought you’d be taller.
“I know it’s just your head in the Tele, but you look like you’d be taller.”
Nothing like a three way conversation to make you laugh . . . then wonder if you’re a figment of your own imagination.
