Yes!!
"Deaf Empowerment" in America. It examines the Deaf social movement in America from its inception in the mid 19th century etc etc
I know I'm a sucker for random but this is totally out of my league.

Yeah that’s very random.
I was going to suggest a self help theme book. But I couldn’t for the life of me remember the phrase “self help”  . I was going to put physiobabble . Didn’t think that would convey what I was actually trying to say .

Do I get a prize, if so, what is it? Perhaps a book on Deaf Empowerment? 
Another random thought. Do you remember the sitcom with Uncle Stavely who had a hearing horn, his stock phrase was 'Pardon, I heard that' Might have been I Didn't Know You Cared.

Initially I thought he was in Pleges Pickles (Hilda Baker & Jimmy Jewel) but I was wrong. I bet both were equally unPC along with Til Death Do Us Part.

I've led a sheltered life - I don't remember Pleges Pickles either - but I do remember Til Death etc. So many series would be unPC now.

I don’t remember any of them.

I am feeling 'old' as I remember enjoying all of those. Liked 'Never mind the quality, feel the width' as well along with Faulty towers and Boys from the Blackstuff to name a few.

Thanks Vinny - still don't remember it!
IN today came 2 books - an Allotment Gardening Book and a book of Dal recipes. Also, a 2 compartment pedal bin to help with sorting the recycling.
Tomorrow, I'm picking up an Air Fryer. Not sure what its like except its a Tower one. Looks pretty basic - like me really.
