I was nicknamed Babs at uni, although it didn't really stick. When I started work, there were so many Sarahs I suggested they call me Babs instead. Nearly 30 years on, that's all I'm known as to colleagues. Nobody I've met outside the office ever uses it; I'm always Sarah.
I have unfollowed people on social media who have called me Andy. It’s not my name. I am not an Andy. You might as well call me Ronald. Call people by the name they want.

My favourite of Hammer’s Frankenstein films. Freddie Jones is brilliant here.
Hammers fifth and arguably finest crack at creation. Superbly crafted grim gothic nihilism strikingly shot with the fantastic Cushing in cruel mode. 1969.

Is The Seventh Seal a horror movie? It is one of my favourite films of all time, but I never refer to it as a horror movie and now I'm not sure why.

Thought it was going to be slim pickings in Beverley today, but there was a late flurry. Particularly pleased with the Public Eye tie-in (£2!). Shame the Oxfam sticker won’t come off The Ipcress File without taking some of the cover with it.
