Both are, in my opinion, soon to become endangered species. The
writing's on the wall for Doctor Who and if this TA storyline
continues, I can't say much better for Ambridge.
As for signs and portents: I cleared out a lot of duplicate books on
Saturday and added them to the Wayside Library/Book Exchange in the
bus station. When I say duplicate books, I'm confessing that when
offered free books I've sometimes forgotten which ones I've only read
and which ones I already have. Four days later and the only one of my
donated books which nobody has taken and which is still on display in
the bus station is one of Joanna Toy's Ambridge novelisations.
It's a sign or a portent I tell you![1]
