For a while now, people have been saying that a fundamental change has overtaken the world. A caesura in history, if you like. Perhaps they are right. But here, hard on its heels, like a bus following with irritating rapidity its predecessor, is another epochal event, of quite different scale and character, as reported by our Chelmsford collispondent. The departure of the geezer, Peter Miller. I think it true to say that sinister will not be the same again. The colours may look the same, the cartoon girls may still frown (do they? I haven't looked at them for a while), but we are living on the other side of a break in list time. The question is --- what the heck am *I* doing here? Possibly time should be taken for a full tribute to the geezer - a retrospective gaze, at least, over some of his finest moments from the past. Who knows? It might even happen. MyMomSays has posted twice in a row, but I must admit, I like her Handle a lot. __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
