*        I’ll have a look, Debbi!   No guarantees, though!   Have you seen Snatch, as a thought?   It can be handy, if the character’s a working class, London girl.   And this site seems useful.   (Bog standard Word or Pages document should be fine!)   Oh, and have you seen The Girl With All The Gifts?   Gemma Aterton’s character might be a good model … (I’ll have to do some work, there … before I start sending things … )
