Hi Carlos,

I would also consider trying to tie the character in to the tweet.

In your first example, there wasn't any reason why your character would complain about too many blacksmiths - who would do that? Are there any blacksmiths at all anymore? Certainly aren't in South East London.

BUT - if you could make that line natural to your character, you would take the joke up a level. In my opinion, anyway.

Keep writing :)

I think "too many blacksmiths" works very well if it's obvious the character is bullshitting...

Thanks enigmatic, I thought I would have had to write an autobiography on the fella the way things were going here.

Except why would anyone comment on parking charges and multiculturalism in the same tweet? I think the sentence as it is works better as a mistake.

Anyway, lots of responses means you are on to something that could really work, Carlos. Keep going with it. :)

Dave is 60 born in reading and lived there all his life, he is not all there and he thinks that charity shops are Blacksmiths shops for some crazy reason, I think it was because he bought a horse shoe from one of them years ago, when he read this story:

He was not happy at all, so he joined twitter because he heard the best way to contact his local MP was through twitter, and then he sent her a tweet, what is ironic is that was the first tweet he ever sent, and he has vowed never to tweet again after that incident.
