The music world has lost another great: Ranking Roger, vocalist with The Beat.
Here’s a shortened version of the Mirror in the Bathroom chapter from my book for young teens, Mr Lizard*:
Before the internet, everyone read newspapers.
Kids would get a job at a paper shop delivering newspapers in the morning before school to all the houses down a road or two.
Papers were (and still are) either broadsheets’ (because the sheets of paper they’re printed on are broad, such as The Times, The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian in the UK) or tabloids (aka ‘red tops’), like The Sun, The Daily
Star and The Daily Mirror.
Broadsheets and tabloids are written in very different styles and people would read them while eating breakfast, sitting in the bath, sitting on the bus, during their lunch break at work, in the pub after work, on the way to football on a Saturday. Everywhere.
Everywhere you take your phone, in fact.
They’d read the Mirror in the bathroom.
