Captain Sir Tom Moore DEAD (1 Viewer)

I used to work with his niece!

Why am I not surprised that you’re in on it.

Captain Tom or Captain Charles? Which Ingram family would you be most ashamed of?

To my delight, my office is still cheerily displaying the original fraud book in the "staff contemplation" room. I contemplated this week. It's more a booklet than a book but there were some poignant moments.

"My youngest daughter Hannah and her family accompanied me to make sure I got the safely and didn't get into too much trouble"

*Catches deadly global pathogen. Dies*


The booklet is otherwise exactly what you'd expect from a publisher / daughter forcing someone to play British Hero - lots of references to Churchill, wartime spirit, and inexplicably a Stormzy callout for the yoof

But I did quite enjoy the multiple references to Granny Fanny, and the reveal that the Captain routinely took Hannah to the local DUMP as a "weekend treat". No wonder she craves nice things.

To think he wrote all that while hospitalised with pneumonia, and all the time Dame Captain Hannah Moore was by his side with comforting words like "we're being paid by the word."

It's incredible how sharp his brain still was that whole time.

The chapter on his beloved youngest daughter Hannah performing life-saving surgeries on all of those dying children is obviously an inspiring story in itself, but Captain Tom's wordsmithing just elevates it to a whole new level.

Wait, was it written from beyond the grave?

Sadly the only characterisation she receives is that she was very deeply Christian, and that her dying wish was for her future great-grandchildren to have a home spa they could cleanse their sins in.
