The sad death of the legendary Keith Waterhouse, has rightfully, attracted many plaudits in national newspapers. Reflections on his life....left school with no qualifications.....fond of the odd tipple or three.....a true original...etc. etc. Yet is it not ironical, that if a similar young Keith Waterhouse presented himself to any of these same newspapers today, he'd very quickly be shown the door. No qualifications?...most newspapers today desire only graduate clones in grey suits, keep your heads down and don't rock the boat if you want to survive. The odd tipple?....A bottle of mineral water at the desk is about as adventurous as today's young reporter is permitted to get. A true original?.....Good Lord, must be a lefty, or even a communist.... I believe it's called progress....What a strange world we live in. Pictureman.
