Skyejan, JP is no cutie, as you will find out if you ever meet him, but be warned, do not approach him if you have a pie in your possesion! He will do and say anything, and I mean anything, to divest you of said pie. Apart from that he aint a bad bloke really.
Well if that be the case, JP will be trailing round behind you at any events you are both at, just in case one of the two pies is just a little too much for you to carry, he would of course be a gent and offer to ease your burdon, but he wont guarantee you will see it again.

I’m not a great fan of science fiction - for instance, I think H.G. Wells’s “The History of Mr. Polly” is far superior to any of his sci-fi novels - but I make an exception in John Wyndham.
Which is why I found the 1963 movie version of “The Day of the Triffids” so irritating (and I’m not the only one, judging by the User Reviews in the IMDb page). Leaving aside the production values, I was irked that a pivotal and interesting character in the book, Horace Coker, was lazily killed off in the film (despite being portrayed by the very able Mervyn Johns).
Then there was the train pile-up scene at Charing Cross station in London, which never featured in the book. Most are critical of this because the actual crash is never seen, but there’s another factor. You’re a train driver. During the journey, you go blind. So what do you do? Immediately engage full throttle, apparently.
The film version of the aforementioned “History of Mr. Polly”, with John Mills in the title role, stuck far more closely to the book and was an infinitely superior product for it.
