No ... Stay There Please ... ...
No. Stay there please. Do as the Lifeguard asks you.
But Daddy, I want to dive off too!
I know, but all in good time. Let’s wait five years.
But Dad! That’s forever!! I’m only four!!!
You’re just a spoilsport, and I’m going to tell Mum!!!!
It’s not fair! I’m not going to give you a kiss at bedtime!!!
… turning away, hand in hand with the lifeguard.. “daddy’s horrid, you know!!! Such a spoil-sport!”

Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
