Bad Machinery by John Allison for February 14, 2020

Another tortured soul.

Good timing for Valentine’s Day.

The last man to establish residence in the Grote household was a sewer worker, so Mum clearly doesn’t have any qualms about Mr. Johnson’s occupation. Maybe he will be more nearly willing to go along with Lottie’s scheme to destroy the fatberg if he become part of her family?

I agree with Lottie, Johnson is a hunk with a heart of gold, a sad past and courage. With her mother they would be an awesome couple. I can’t wait to see what she will invent to get them together.

Shauna is rather non-committal in all of this, strange.

Is it just me or does Sewerman General seem like a very British sort of title?

Kids trying to set up their parents on dates…because that always ends so well. :P

But to be totally fair, Johnson is a bit of a looker for a sewer rat. I’m honestly surprised he isn’t already taken.

Somewhat Feb 14 appropriate.

I might be wrong, but, isn’t there a fairly large body of water involved in this story?

Is it significant that Sewerman General Johnson has a spit-curl, like Elvis and Superman?
