The Diary of a Nobody

Being the modern day record of Charles Pooter VI -
direct descendant of the 19th Century original

I got a peculiar e-mail from Gowing, saying “Offended? No way. I thought you were offended with me because I lost my temper. Anyway, I discovered it wasn’t my uncle’s umbrella after all. Just a cheap one I’d got down at Primark. Thanks for the present all the same – much appreciated”.

Why shouldn’t
I publish
my diary?

I often see memoirs by people I’ve never even heard of and I don’t see why my diary should be any less interesting, just because I’m not a ‘celebrity’. I only wish I’d started it when I was younger.
