Have you and your partner been discussing insurance recently? Has your partner added some new plants in your garden? Does your tea taste funny?
You know the old saying - one man’s meat is another man’s poison. Well that’s what this presentation is all about - POISON!
Poison has come to signify the method used by women to get rid of unwanted others. But as you will hear, men make use of these deadly substances with gay abandon.
Many of the substances used to kill, also have valuable medicinal purposes, or were thought to have. It is the dosage that is important, and often the line between kill or cure is very fine indeed.
Learn about the poisons used in the novels by Agatha Christie as well as the uses to which they were put in cases from real life.
Have something to eat before you come and listen to these horrific tales, as I suspect that you may not have much of an appetite at the end!
I will need to be able to park at, or very close to, your venue entrance. The presentation lasts about 60 minutes.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MY TALKS LAST AROUND 60 MINUTES.
I am based in Thetford, Norfolk, but happy to travel. My work history is 29 years a police officer, followed by 4 years as a manager for Autoglass, then by 10 years as a prison officer and ending with 3 years as an Inclusion Manager in a secondary school. I am now a Town Crier and have been a speaker for over 20 years.
My website (www.medievalworld.org.uk) gives details of the talks and presentations I can offer. All my presentations last for about 60 minutes and cost £50 plus a fee for travel. However, I do not charge the standard 45p per mile, but only for what petrol I use for the journey.
