Ah, the Barrow Poets - sherry from the cask, sawdust on the floor, and 'The Bum of the Flightle Bee' (+ kazoo). An exchange in the gents: 'Did you write that last poem?' 'Alas, no. It was by Edward Lear.' Thank you @poemsonthetube.bsky.social - great memories. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

One of the very best public art programmes. I always read these on the tube when I visit London. And realise now I’ve been doing so for the whole of your 40 years. Thank you.
