I really do wish I hadn’t named this blog I am the one in eight.
At the time I thought it sounded clever. Now I just think it sounds self-pitying and, 
while I’m as good at that as the next person, it’s really not me.
Now I wish I’d called it something much more positive like Not a misery memoir or, catching the zeitgeist and much more me, This girl can.

Don’t worry, we all know what you’re made of – how many people can say they’ve taken on the Atlantic & enjoyed every minute of it?! As Shakespeare said: ‘What’s in a name?’

I think it’s an absolutely fine and appropriate name. I didn’t get self pity from it at all. It’s a statistic worth highlighting in my opinion.
Anyway it’s your blog do do what you want and call it what you want.

Don’t worry Maureen — when they buy the rights for the best-selling book and blockbuster movie you can change the title! The question is who should play you in the film? I’m thinking Heidi Klum….

Loving the idea, Vic. Heidi Klum? Guessing you chose her more because of her super-cool way of dealing with Donald Trump’s ridiculous sexist remark than because of any similarities in the way we look. Flattered either way.

Sorry Maureen as you can tell I am catching up on the blog post holiday. I think the name is cool and not sure if this really helps but it keeps giving me the earworm of ‘I am the one in ten’ by UB40.
