About me

Hello. I’m an ex-London ad agency copywriter, now deep into my 4,000-week holiday and living in Dorset, England. Now I no longer get paid for it, the only writing I do is for this blog (and what I laughably call ‘travel writing’ over at millsholidays.wordpress.com).

But, you never know. It could be mildly interesting. Amusing, even. Possibly contentious? Unlikely. In any event, please feel free to leave feedback of some sort.

    Hi Kev, knowing the degree to which poor copy and poor punctuation drives you nuts, I wonder if you’ve seen the current w/p ad for Serious Lights (or is that Lights, by Serious – who, confusingly, also call themselves Serious Readers)? It’s an absolute mess of errors. Find the ad and then rant here; I’d enjoy reading your comments (without the need of any artificial light at all).

      I’ll look out for it. I had noticed one of their ads years ago and was struck by its pompous tone – it seemed to suggest sales of their lamps would be subject to you reading the right kind of books – but didn’t notice any howlers. Any particular publication? I’d imagine the Sunday Telegraph.

    Don’t you also edit Wikipedia pages?

      Once, many years ago. The edit I made – to the Wikipedia page about New Malden – was subsequently unedited by someone else, so I didn’t bother after that.
