I must start this latest blog with an apology for the foul language displayed as the title. It is however, and artistic reference, and therefore completely justified. It is the new title for my book. I don’t really want to refer to it as an autobiography or memoirs...that gives the work perhaps far more kudos than it deserves. It was a suggested title by my good lady wife, the current Mrs Plug. She made the point that “Jack Shit” was pretty much what I was left with in terms of love, and also that it was the name that my Grandfather was referred to, despite being called John. On reflection, I remember that when I asked why they called Granddad Jack, I was told that it was short for John. I never really stood a chance did I? Unbelievably, Wikipedia states that Jack in a nickname for John! Anyway, I think it is a good name for the book, and if the title is the only thing that causes offence I shall be enormously surprised.
