Another Radar fan

One man who has always looked up to the talented Tim "Radar" Franklin is Peter West, the promotions manager at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.

I have long admired from afar Peter's career, from his great work with the Tasmanian Football League (years ago I remember saying he was the best man for the job) to his current role at the museum.

And now it turns out Peter has a new caravan: "We had a 1976 Franklin caravan, which we nicknamed Tim, so we have named the new one Tim II."

Peter reveals all in the latest Where the heart is column in The Mercury, complete with details and photos of his shed, snow domes, caravan and house ghost. I can sense a well deserved Pulitzer Prize for this expose.

Ah, the good old parochial Mercury. Just begs the question: Does anyone care?

As long as I can read it in the library, I am happy.
