Mr. Gull Iver regularly listens to BBC Radio 4/World Service whilst having his breakfast. He then takes his two dogs for a walk ,in the nearby park. As he keeps his eye on his dogs he meditates on the snippets of information which he has gleaned from the BBC.

The author was simply an emanuensis (no that's not contagious) who disassociates himself completely from the misinformation and wild ideas contained in the book. He only wrote it in the vain hope that reading the whole book might give rise to at least one smile or chuckle.

You can read excerpts from Gull Iver's first Book "Gull Iver Rambles" from this webpage or look at quotations from his latest title "Gull Iver Rambles Again"

Last minute snippet
   A householder, who has been burgled frequently, has been given permission to protect his home with razor wire provided that he erects a warning notice outside his house.

   Seen outside a neighbouring house :

WARNING TO BURGLARS

The left-hand rear hob of the electric cooker in the
kitchen might still be very hot. Please be careful.


GULL IVER'S closing remarks
(a) As they say in the very centre of civilisation "If't cap fits, wear it."
(b) I should like to record my very insincere thanks to Alick Hartley for so unfaithfully recording my ramblings to the best of his unfortunately very limited ability.
