In 1982 my primary school teacher suggested that I read a newly published book called 'The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole' by Sue Townsend as he recognised that it would appeal to my sense of humour.

FRIDAY MAY 6TH Yet another disenchantment. The Hitler Diaries are a hoax. I have paid Pandora £1.50. I am dead disappointed, I was looking forward to reading about what maniacs eat for breakfast, and how they behave in private.
Currently listening to Robert Harris's book about the Hitler diaries. It's reminding me of my old friend Aidy Mole, who was so disappointed that he wasn't going to be able to read about what maniacs eat for breakfast.

Screengrab which reads "The man is called Duncan McInTosh and his party is called "The Send 'Em Back Where They Come From Party". Its policy is the compulsory repatriation of: black people, brown people, yellow people, tinged people, Jewish, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Celtic and all those who have Norman blood. In fact only those who can prove to be pure-bred flexed-haired Saxons are to be allowed to live in this country. My mother has worked out that if he came to power the population of Great Britain would be reduced to one.
Whenever I see all the flag-shagging racist nonsense I'm reminded of this passage from Sue Townsend's Growing Pains of Adrian Mole about the Send 'em Back Where they Come From Party.

The genius of Sue Townsend’s 80s satire lies in the way it speaks to the struggle of teenagers everywhere.
🎧 Listen in now to hear why Jonty and Sophie love this book so much, and why you should give it a read (or a re-read)!

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 3/4 on the Commodore 64. Feels like a lifetime ago. I look back fondly on those pixelated diary entries, tapping away at a clunky keyboard, lost in Adrian’s world of teenage angst and dry wit. Simpler times, in 8-bit. Thanks Sue Townsend ❤️🫶📖

#AdrianMole May 1981
With his mother gone, his dad blows all the money on flowers to win her back, the red electricity bill is unpaid, and they are cut off. It's still light humour but there is certainly a grim undercurrent now, which we will return to a few times.

#AdrianMole April 1981
His mother has moved to Sheffield with Creep Lucas, and his dad is not coping, so this month is the start of one of the recurring themes of the books, the experience of precarious poverty. For all Adrian's melodrama, this part is no joke.

#AdrianMole March 1981
Things finally come to a head with Adrian's parents, his father finds out about the affair, his mother moves to Sheffield with Mr Lucas. Adrian starts a paper round to pay Barry Kent's menaces money, and sees Pandora's house and her pony, Blossom.

#AdrianMole February 1981
Most of this month is spent developing on the last, so let's talk about a question that comes to mind in 2025: is Adrian neurodivergent?
The first answer I have to give is "no, he's a fictional character in a series of comic novels" but...

#AdrianMole January 1981
First month and near everything is already in place - Mr Lucas, Grandma, Nigel, Pandora, Bert Baxter, Barry Kent, Adrian's poetry. The Lucas divorce/affair is already underway, but a surprising amount of this month is spent on the dog.

He's gone full Adrian Mole... "I only got one Valentine’s Day card. It was in my mother’s handwriting so it doesn’t count.... Pandora looked luscious today, she was wearing a split skirt which showed her legs. She has got a scab on one of her knees...." #AdrianMole

A young person is holding a book open and reading. The book is The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole by Sue Townsend. The person’s face cannot be seen and they are wearing colourful pyjamas.
My Small (age 11 and a half) is a voracious reader. Literary gold in her hands. I’ll be staggering down memory lane with this once she’s finished it.

The ‘school dinners’ thing is reminiscent of #AdrianMole: Sue Townsend’s Adrian worked in restaurant serving dreadful boarding school type fare which rich toffs came to eat as they got nostalgic about school days…
Think it was called Hoi Polloi

Sad to wake up to news of Sue Townsend's death. In this day and age, 68 (and however many quarters) is too young to die. #adrianmole
