  2. As it always does word of that got out and other supervisors who were furious at me for setting a precedent asked me why I hadn’t just approved the report with an explanatory note about the halfpenny. I retorted that employees had to be taught a lesson that would keep them “on their toes” and that is how I became known throughout Government departments as The Halfpenny Man.

    All that was as said half a century ago and since then I have waited for a kindred spirit to come along. I think I may have found him because I see that there is now a guy on this site who seems to be working hard to earn him self the nickname of The Comma Man.

    You will note how what I have written here and in Part One is comma free. I could have filled the passages with not just commas but colons and semi colons but note how not being weighed down with punctuation allows the narrative to briskly canter along at a nice merry pace. A lot of stuff written by that Hirschhorn chappie and quoted on this site like something from Moses’ Ten Commandments has too may commas in it for my liking. There is no need for half ot them.

    Long may The Comma Man continue as he is doing though so that we can keep that Work Horse character “on his toes”. My goodness -The Work Horse and The Halfpenny Man and The Comma Man – we sound like a group who are “-off to see The Wizard. The wonderful Wizard of oz!”

      1. MY GOODNESS WORK HORSE! – I wrote that post way back in Feb so I’m surprised that true to the ethos of the Cogerson site you haven’t adjusted the title for inflation!

  3. Anyone reading this will probably say why is he called The Halfpenny Man. Halfpennies no longer exist but they did half a century ago when my story begins though being just one fortieth of a British pound in cash they were negligible even then.

    I was a supervisor in a Government department back then and I controlled a £50 million budget and one of your regulars on this site worked under my control. I respect his privacy so I will refer to him as just X.

    Each year X had to prepare for me a statement of how the £50 million was spent and it usually took him a couple of days to do that because it had to be handwritten as there were no spreadsheets and computers etc about in those days.

    One year X duly submitted his report which came to $48 million and one halfpenny but X had left out the halfpenny in the opening section of the report so that subsequent sections and subsections were all a halfpenny out in domino style.

    Other supervisors would simply have accepted the report and scribbled at the bottom of it something like “figures halfpenny out all through – but approved.” However I insisted that your poor X rewrite the entire report with the halfpenny included at each stage and that took him another two days.
