Was he drinking so much in 1990 or thereabouts or did that increase drastically after they separated, as often happens.

Has anyone ever checked with Outhwaite & Litherland about selling anything to Mike?

You can not imagine how much I wanted to believe the diary when it first came out. think I was one of the first here to buy the book.

I used to read look in in the 70s however it wasn't a patch on the beano.

Hi gut,the people he names in affidavits are real the events not I think he had a tiny article published in a magazine called "look in " in the 1970s.

Blimey, Look-In! That takes me back!

I thought you might have some idea.

Do you know

1. If any of his and Anne's articles were accepted for publication.

2. Did he ever have anything else published.

Thanks for the feedback.

I should have stated that I have real reservations about his confession but the affidavits are interesting because of the detail he goes into.

I note that in his affidavit of January 5 1995, Mike describes himself as being an author.

Can anyone tell me if he has ever had anything published. I freely admit that I really don't know a lot about Mike.

I must say that this affidavit presents some interesting possibilities for research.

Hi gut,Mr Barrett used to send articles to magazines in the 1970s apparently his wife "tidied them up for him" before they were sent.The affidavit cannot be taken seriously because of Mr Barrett s state of mind and chronic alcoholism.He claimed he forged the diary to upset the Apple cart for Mr Feldman and his associates in my honest opinion Mr Barrett did not come into the possession of the diary by fair means .Having met Mr Barrett quite a few times over the years i soon came to the conclusion he is no forger just a simple sole who just got out of his depth.One last thing I've seen his famous Amstrad word processor that he claims he wrote the diary on he was unable to even turn it on.
