I've just started Riders (having never picked up a Jilly Cooper novel before) and am fascinated by how Rupert is such a lout. Then there are loads of characters and dogs....

So, any names from any of her novels you'd use on an actual child? (or maybe you already have )

I was desperate to call ds Ace or Red and had just talked dp into it when Matt and Emma Willis called there son Ace so I went of it, I nicknamed my friends little boy ace when he was born and it's stuck, I think he'll thank me when he's older

Jake and Billy are pretty normal.

Oooh I love Jilly Cooper books. Haven't read one for years. I remember reading Rivals when I was about 16 and it blew me away.

Might see if I can buy it on the kindle. Got a bank holiday to myself as am off work but kids are at school. 6 hours of romps and naughtiness. Perfect.
