Friends. Welcome to The Daily Inch. While I’m away researching Murder Mile, here’s a little treat to keep you entertained over the next three weeks. Fifteen little stories which are fun, rambly, informative, but not essential to listen to. Each story had been written and presented in a tongue-in-cheek way and are not for the easily offended.
