- At 1.40 am this morning I was still awake, listening to the pounding of
- the record player and the yapping of the television in the upstairs
- flat. This for the third night in a row. What with the likely
- termination of my contract, my closest friend taking to drink and
- suffering internal pain and florid paranoia, and losing my only decent
- fountain pen I was at my wits' end. I'd already asked the Police to
- deal with the nuisance, and when they failed I'd sent for Environmental
- Health. They, too, had proved ineffective. I was desperate.
-
- At 1.50am I picked up the phone and rang the Samaritans, thinking that
- if I was going to burst into tears I might as well do it where someone
- could see me and offer sympathy.
-
- The number was engaged.
-
- desperately, Ken Johnson
