I really enjoyed this story. I think the background touches in the description were superb and really added depth to the characteristions. I particularly found the relationships between Harry and all his children honest and touching.

It is a shame however that some of the British colour is incorrect (the phrase is 'bollocks to'not bollocks on', the defence does corner the forwards in soccer, pubs never,ever have waitress service, the Beeb (not Beebs) is a colloquial term for the BBC as an institution but it is never used to refer to any of the BBC tv channels etc). Had the overall writing not have been so good and the story so strong, and had it not been obviously trying forlocalcolour these mistakes would not have stood out somuch. If the author has the chance to revise this story before final archving I would strongly recommend that they get it Brit-picked.
