the idea is a new code of secretary. the idea is a new code of practice for the private parking companies. they handle private bits of land and hospital car parks. if theyissue of land and hospital car parks. if they issue tickets when they should not and if they have an appeals procedure which does not work or if anything is confusing about the way they operate, what they can do is re move they operate, what they can do is remove the right to go to the dvla to get our addresses and that will put them out of business because if they have not got the addresses from they have not got the addresses from the dvla and our names, they cannot finance, they get no money and that will be the end of them. that is the idea. you were telling us early on about how you stopped off somewhere. i was at party conference. i parked ona i was at party conference. i parked on a hotel for court to put in in manchester. i drove off, put my car ina manchester. i drove off, put my car in a multi—story. the next morning i found a ticket on it from one of these private companies. somebody had seen me in the hotel and worked

his way all round the car park to put the ticket on. tickets are not actually tickets, they are invoices. i refused to pay the invoice and told the company i would happily expose them in the newspaper if they pursued it and that was the sad thing is not everyone can say that threat. how would you know it was a cowboy? first of all the tickets should not look like tickets. it is one of the things that would be banned under this system. they will not be local authority. it will be written on it that it is a private firm. and then what you do is you ta ke firm. and then what you do is you take them on. you should be able to get rid of them. i think a lot of people would be scared. very quickly, irony want to get to this story, the bride will be speaking at her wedding. what do you think about this? the amount of weddings i have

been to in the past two years where the bride have spoken. really? yes, it is relent. andy mcdowell did it in the film for weddings and a cat macro funeral. we have not mentioned which wedding it is. it is meghan markle and prince harry. why do like it? ijust think it markle and prince harry. why do like it? i just think it sounds like it will be really good fun. there is a line where it says she is even thinking of putting in somejokes. excellent! we will leave it there. penny and nigel, thank you. we have more coming up in the next hour. you can see all the front pages online and on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer.

you'll be back at 11.30pm for another look at the papers. coming up next, it's meet the author. there is something about louisa clarke, lou, that has turned the novels of jojo moyes into international bestsellers. she's a heroine whose life appeals to readers who do not want to let her go. now, after me before you and after you comes still me, in which lou fetches up in new york in a different world, as personal assistant to a socialite whose rich family holds out a few secrets. what will happen to lou's old boyfriend, paramedic sam, when she meets and falls for an american who bears a spooky resemblance to an old flame she knew before sam? if you are a reader who follows lou, you will want to know.

welcome. what do you think it is about lou that makes her such a compelling character for your readers? i think she's an everywoman, the fact she is on the surface such an ordinary person makes it very easy for a wide variety of people to identify with her, but she also has an inherent goodness. not necessarily a niceness, because she can be sharp. but there is no snark to her, and in an age of snarkiness, people find that refreshing. in this book she is transported to a newjob in new york, and she finds herself in a family, a slightly weird family — of course, because that's

what stories are made of — and she is thrown into the social whirl of very rich new york life. of course, it is completely beyond her experience. part of the joy of having a character you can revisit is to put them in an alien landscape. there's not much more alien than the fifth avenue social world. something i found interesting about louisa's position is that when you enter the world of the very rich or the super—rich, they are people who have become accustomed to having people living around them, they are observed at all times yet they have to live as if they are not. there is that inherent tension between the people who are serving them and the people who are living, that i find really interesting. without going into details, i don't want to spoil the plot for those who will enjoy reading the book, but it all comes unstuck for her in a pretty terrifying way. it's sort of put back together again, which fulfils your reassuring criterion,

but i like the description of the everywoman, because you do sense that this is somebody who is going through something we can all imagine. we can feel what it's like for her. exactly, when i write louisa i try to really put the reader into her shoes. you feel things as she feels them, it's almost like, i don't know, inhabiting somebody‘s skin, and that's quite different if you are writing in third person. i found it very easy to pull people along with louisa. we are inside louisa, lou, her love life is a bit of a mess in this situation, in new york. sam the paramedic, who is her man back in london, he turns up. that's all very nice but she has an encounter with someone who reminds her of another man. i don't think it's too much of a spoiler to sayjosh reminds her of will, but when i speak to people who have lost someone, they see them everywhere. that can be quite discombobulating,

because i think you don'tjust see them in the street, you project onto them, and i think that is something that happens a bit in this book. do you ever find yourself getting a bit fed up of her? this is the third outing, clearly she's very successful so you are fond of her in that sense, but do you ever think, oh, i must think of something else for her to do? that's it, this is the third book, from the day i was writing book two i saw it as a trilogy, a horseshoe shaped trilogy. so that is it. i actually felt really sad to let her go because you know what it's like, some characters come to life immediately, others you can write a third of a book and still not be entirely sure who they are and that can be really frustrating because they don't lift off the page in the right way. with lou, as with will in the first book, they landed fully formed in my lap. i knew what their responses would be in any situation and that made it an easy thing to write.

it's a great gift for an author to have that sense of the character, fully formed. how did that come about? what was it about her that allowed you to have that clear idea of how she would respond to any challenge? it was quite bizarre, i sometimes have scenes enter my head, and it was the scene in the first book where they are dancing at a wedding and she is sitting on his lap, a man in a motorised wheelchair, she slow dances with him at a wedding to the appalled fascination of the other guests, and he says to her, because she's sort of here — you would have never let those breasts so close to me if i hadn't been in a wheelchair, and she says you would not have noticed my breasts if you were not in a wheelchair. and in that moment i knew who they both were and how well they understood each other. it's interesting that you describe that scene almost in filmic terms. are you one of those writers who almost imagines in a way that you are behind a camera, which is moving and

picking up scenes? absolutely. i have to play a scene through filmically in my head to see if it will work. i lie on the floor of my office and run through lots of different varieties. there are writers who, and it's quite difficult to understand this, but who don't see it in that way, don't see it like a stage with people walking in and off and the camera moving. but they have some sort of different mental process. it's quite a difficult thing to grasp. i'm always fascinated by how other writers do it because you just never know. i don't understand writers who don't plot, i can't imagine the fear of stepping off into the unknown and not knowing roughly where your characters will land. some writers say they are terrified by the idea of having it all written out, with the arc of the story, or whatever cliche we choose to apply. they must set off on the wide ocean and see where the boat ends up. you can't do that? i have a rough idea.

four times out of five, it will deviate quite significantly. you will invent things as you go. characters run away with the plot and all the rest, but i have to have a rough idea of theme if nothing else. my constant question to myself is, what is the story really about? i'm sure if there were a group of readers here, they would say to you, if they were keen on the books and had enjoyed them, they would say, why are you taking her away? and they would ask you the inevitable question authors are doomed to answer, what happens to her afterwards? i quite like the idea that that might be in the reader's imagination. me before you was an odd book because it was peculiarly open ended, we ended up with her walking away in a street in paris, and ifound i kept asking myself the question, what would happen to you after being part of such a catastrophic life changing event? if you were part of somebody ending their life, you could not walk away from that with a bouncing off stride.

even if you thought you were 0k, it would come back with a terrible kind of profound resonance in your life. that was really the question — what happens next? but i feel like she's done now. i don't want people to think i'm flogging a stripey legged dead horse, so i might revisit her in a short story one day... ah! but as novels go, that's it. readers are free to imagine she lives more or less happily ever after. i think they will have to read the book and decide. jojo moyes, author of still me, thank you very much. hello. mild conditions will return on sunday. ourair hello. mild conditions will return on sunday. our air originating from
