My Ex-husband works for Dyson and he went out with one of the service engineers visiting customers. He got to the house of a lovely gentleman, somewhere near Bath, not far from here and had a wonderful chat with him. On his way out he spotted a photograph of said old gentleman on the wall, posing with the pig "Babe" from the film. So he said, "oh, you've met Babe" to which he got the reply... "Yeah, I wrote the book!" I was in stitches, I would have recognised Di[k King-Smith the moment he opened the door!
