Well, what a stramash as some football pundits might say (seems apt – the national team are playing in a few hours), but I never realised that when I offered my 2,500th follower on Twitter a free copy of my book Goodness Nose (congratulations Judie Ellington) and then said I’d offer my 3,013th follower a [...]
