John Scott, a former editor of the Cape Times, has built up a firm base of die-hard fans over the decades. Many were outraged when his hugely popular, satirical column PS, which had appeared in the Cape Times since 1971, was abruptly and unceremoniously terminated at the end of 2014....With his unique brand of satire and throw-away humour, Scott pokes relentless fun at our pocket-filling politicians, but is gentler with other human foibles such as the Springboks' inability to beat the Japanese, the church's struggle to put bums on pews, teacher truancy, a co-pilot's failure to pass a breathalyser test, how to understand a Spanish-speaking locomotive, and whether to save school kids from the arch-colonialist, Shakespeare." - Extract from a review of the second collection of the author's columns "And what is your excuse today, sir?"
