She has also written a great novel, the name of which I can’t remember, about a cat. 
Yes!
Here’s a review I wrote about the novel ages ago.
Nice, thanks! I’ve been needing a good book recommendation for a while

@jaquo Totally unrelated to punctuation but kind of related to the original thread purpose (!), I was thinking about starting a thread on how BBC Radio 4’s The Archers has recently included a story-line about Airbnb. But I thought it probably wouldn’t be of much interest to people on here so I googled to see if it was being discussed anywhere else. The third hit is a news piece on your site!
I only recently became addicted to the Archers* having long been the kind of person who scalded themselves with hot tea in the frantic rush to turn off the radio as soon as the theme tune started. The Grundy’s experience with their guests has been quite amusing (arrggh, surely they can’t 'ave gawn through three rolls of toilet paper already?) but the disparaging undertones never occurred to me. Interesting. Maybe I should start a thread and we can discuss it further just the two of us! Unless any other Brits on here listen to the Archers?
- yeah, the Titchner story

That’s exactly what made me start listening! But yes, the Airbnb story has me captivated too. Loved the toilet roll thing! It could have easily been a post here.
Hey, that makes me wonder whether the writers are reading this forum!
I do hope that Airbnb is going to be portrayed fairly. (Note to other members here - Airbnb isn’t mentioned by name but it’s pretty obvious).
Eddie and Clarrie, the hosts, are quite sympathetic characters and Lynda who runs the ‘real’ B&B isn’t - she’s considered a bit too snooty and posh. Hopefully this means that the hosts will win out - I hope so.
But a great part of the story that I imagine is yet to come is that the couple rent their home and do not have the permission of their landlords. Interesting.
Oh and it’s great to know that my site comes up in search engines for the subject! Here it is if anyone is wondering what on earth we’re talking about
