I'm from Walsall, which was also JKJ's hometown
I tend to read it once every couple of years :)

I also like to think that the Blue Posts pub mentioned towards the start is the one that I used to live in (out of the five Soho pubs still to bear that name - though it's definitely the one refereced in Belle de Jour)
