Too many words??

It takes as many as it takes to get your point across , there is no set amount.

Just get it posted, is looking to be biggest anti-climax since thinking I'd see Susan's neatly trimmed muff, and it turning out to be Phil.

Why are you doing that and who for? Genuine question.
If it's for here then write whatever and as much as you want.
If it's for a mag they'll have an idea how much they'd want (ie enough to fit a little box, or a page worth)
If it's for yourself / family or something more serious then enough words to explain it all!
I'm thinking it could be interesting reading regardless. Plenty of us on here with both hidden and non hidden histories!

does sound interesting tbh. I "think" martin said he spoke to his wife so maby it was a joint effort, or maby more to do with his wife. Would be good to read later on. Good luck.

you are just trying to get the goss before everyone else!
martin.as said ginge and dojj for that matter are known for essay's full of uninteresting crap
do whatever you feel. but tbh you dont have to justify yourself/past to anyone at all let alone this board.
unless you really want to mate.

I will in fact read the whole topic now with some tea and see what this is really about.

P.S: If you want some good advice, every now and again copy the whole article (Select all with mouse, and then hold "Ctrl" key whilst pressing "C") and especially before submitting it or PM'ing just in case the submission fails and you lose the bloody lot as that will boil your blood after spending half the night writing it. I have some experience with that happening.
