Re: Jeanette Winterston - famous novelist

Agreed. Totally cuckoo. The problem is - certainly from the perspective of the big smoke - that once you mention you're from Accy it's no longer an automatic reply of 'Stanley' but '.......isn't that...

Re: Jeanette Winterston - famous novelist

That's still no excuse for the picture in the magazine. It's probably the worst possible vista of Accy you can imagine. Why couldn't she have got a shot of herself outside the market hall or town...

Re: Jeanette Winterston - famous novelist

Right then. It would appear that Ms Winterson is not from Accy at all but from Manchester. Or at least according her autobigraphy which is out next week, an extract of which was in The Times Magazine...

Re: Jeanette Winterston - famous novelist

It does not take too much imagination to think of several themes on which Accy could develop a little tourist trade; sadly, the twisted memories of some frustrated lesbian in exile is not one of them.

Re: Jeanette Winterston - famous novelist

Only by your measure .

I am now totally sick and tired of people praising the virtues of this woman on the simple basis that she came from Accy. I do not know how many of you are daily readers of...

Re: Jeanette Winterston - famous novelist

But I'm not in Accy...I'm in the East End, in London, just like your heroine, Ms. Winterston. Aye, I'm now a soft southern sophisto.

Re: Jeanette Winterston - famous novelist

My sincere apologies. This was an incorrect posting.

I should have said Gilbert & George were a pair of 'Perverted Puffters'.

Happy now?

Re: Jeanette Winterston - famous novelist

I'll check it out....I'm up by Spitalfields market tomorrow dinnertime.

I'll ask if Jeanettes in and I'll also ask if she does discounts for honest Accy folk, like myself.

Re: Jeanette Winterston - famous novelist

Don't forget her corner shop, down near me. Someone on here posted that they'd seen her in Accy ASDA; she was probably buying in 20kilos of tomatos at £1.78/kg to take back to London and flog 'em off...

Is Karen Buckley - with all her bible bashing and exocism's - actually Jeanette Winterston in disguise?

Re: Jeanette Winterston - famous novelist

She makes me puke. She has no love for the town whatsoever, so thank god she's gone and let's hope she never comes back. As for her books, they are fit for one thing only - bog paper.
