A 10 part series entitled 'A History of Delusions' is being broadcast on BBC Radio 4.

The first episode on Monday concerned 14 men in the Bicetre Asylum who were convinced that each one was Napoleon.

Thanks Rollo.

Sounds like something I will read & re-read with gusto to let it all stream into my miserable brain.

I'll drop a hint to herself this evening about Christmas presents as I help her with the washing-up. Not an activity I do frequently these days because my shaky hands have created havoc with her precious china cups. ;-)
