Harvey,
Great tale, and I'm enjoying it.
Two concerns come to mind.
First is being in the 21st century with USB connections, I'm surprised to see you use "Rewind the tape," as if it takes ten minutes or something. Is this the British way...there are still video tape recorders? I can live with that if it's true, but it give me pause.
Second is the quote, "I had got this down to a fine art...."
I've wrestled with, "have got," and "had got," for years. Frankly, I find GOT to be unnecessary.
You're probably thinking, "Taaka, you have GOT to be kidding."
Or maybe it's "Taaka, you have to be kidding."
Seldom do I find the emphasis of GOT to be necessary.
I have to wait for your next offering and I look forward to it soon.
