Join Neil Haverson on his 50-year ride through the Norfolk and Suffolk newspaper industry. Neil has witnessed it all in the ever-changing regional media world - from flongs, hot metal and office cricket to full colour printing, digital editions and the web.

For much of his career, Neil worked in Eastern Counties Newspapers, latterly Archant's commercial arm, but his talent as a humorous writer was discovered on the in-house Prospect magazine. This led to wry sporting columns and the famous 'Fortress H' dispatches in the Eastern Daily Press.

In this book Neil presents the 'greatest hits' from his Norwich Mercury, Eastern Daily Press and Let's Talk magazine columns and his reflections on half a century of ink in his blood.
