"The Tetley tea folk. There was a time when you could get little ceramic figures of them attached to packs of 160 teabags. They all had names and individual foibles. Very reminiscent of the Homepride flour graders.
Papercut, the Rose Walker proposal came after Morningstar Option but (I think) before Petrefax. It got to the stage of an initial outline - but Rose turns out to be a character who Neil still has definite plans for, and he needs her to be in a certain place and situation if and when he comes back to her. I think also she's one of the characters he feels most strongly attached to, so he's reluctant to hand over the reins to someone else. So it's unlikely that the story will ever happen. In any case it kind of strays into the same territory as The Furies, in that it uses a lot of the underpinning of Greek mythology, so I'd probably be less inclined to resurrect it for that reason."
