 "Better than sex - Lee Westwood" "Not as good as sex - Tiger Woods" Captain's Day author Terry Ravenscroft was born in the town of New Mills in the Peak District of Derbyshire. His mother had a particularly long and difficult delivery, largely because she'd forgotten to take off her tights. His parents decided to share equally the responsibility of bringing up their son; however he proved to be a difficult baby, often throwing tantrums and crying for long spells, especially when it was his father's turn to breast feed him. He was a bright child at school as his mother had painted his head with luminous paint so she could pick him out easily when she came to collect him. Despite this inauspicious beginning to his life, or perhaps because of it, he grew up to be a comedy scriptwriter for such stars as Les Dawson, The Two Ronnies and Morecambe and Wise. He now writes humorous books. * * *

with the membership – and a policy which is largely instrumental, along with more than a little help from Henry himself,
in ensuring that far from being the best day in his life his Captain’s Day turns into the very worst day of his life. Now read on.....
