Just seen him on Sky News. All over the meejah like a RASH due to him tweeting that his Petersfield bookshop didn't sell a single book all day in a 'tumbleweed day'

One of those occasions where Twitter does good - glad to see a small bookshop doing well, even if he does support the #twats

Looks rather different on a match day when banging his drum. I do support him with this though, I'm a regular visitor to my local Waterstones in Horsham.

Well someone has to support Pompey, there would be no one there to have a go at otherwise.

“The shop, which sells antiquarian, second-hand and new books”

Is there a reason why he specialises in books on fish tanks?

Is it not a noted fact that bookshops are on the wane, as are books, because many readers do so via e readers. Just a sign of the times and progression.

Pretty sure he sells (on a good day) antique books on many subjects, including angling

Perhaps, and more folk have opportunities in writing.

But you can't beat the visit to a book shop for the next read. I have a Kindle facility like most. But it's book in hand for me still.

Blimey, he looks different in his work clothes. I knew he was a bookseller, but I kinda pictured him in a hovel of a shop surrounded by tottering piles of old secondhand paperbacks. He looks almost academic.
