We Get Letters

Oct 31st, 2009 | By Editor | Category: Issue 521, Volume 7

Dear Ed,
Saw on the news there is now a suggestion that ‘hot branding’ ponies on Dartmoor is now regarded by some as cruel and unusual.  Fortunately I didn’t look away after being warned the scenes might be distressing.
I was cheered to see the RSPCA is remaining as neutral on the grounds that these rare breeds [...]

Dear Ed,
Did you know you could re-cycle your bras? But only in Brighton. It seemed to be for some sort of charity and bright pink bra receptacles are now available.
Anyone going to Brighton?

Dear Ed,
Are you allowed to just drop in on people during Afternoon Theatre? Or ring them on the phone? Surely there is some rule like the one not before 10.00 am on a Sunday and never at home after 21.00 hours, or during dinner.
We were quietly listening to ‘A Tokyo Murder: The Detective’ (wonderful!) on [...]



And perhaps a further fictional letter…

Dear Sir,
I was enjoying an end of summer picnic with a couple of friends last Monday, topping up on the all over tan, when we had something of a shock.  A middle aged man ran the undergrowth through carrying a compass and a map.   Has anyone else spotted this mad man or have other nature [...]

Dear Ed,
Are they all completely bonkers. If we start closing all the places  people collect serious diseases, then most hospitals and schools will have to be closed and a lot of Tandooris.
There is something very odd that with 2,000 children a day visiting  for years, it suddenly went wrong. Don’t close all the farms where  [...]



Letter of the week

Sep 26th, 2009 | By Editor | Category: Feature, Issue 517, Volume 7

Dear Editor,
I refer to the letter published in Issue 516 of The Blissford Voice  from your correspondent (name withheld), in which they were complaining about a lack of reality in the publication and that there  might be a certain amount fake names (and dare I say it fictitious  articles). I note that they were also [...]

Dear Ed,
Saw a clip on Zucchini racing. It could be just the thing to raise  the Frogham Fayre to national consciousness. Child entrants fix a set  of wheels through the big marrow. And then set them off down two  children’s slides, lashed side by side. Looked good and fun.

Dear Ed,
Some person with too much free time sent me a photo of a men’s room  and I thought it was the sort of thing we could use in Fordingbrigde  to perk things up!

Dear Ed,
After all the correspondance about the loos in Fordingbridge, I did
pop in for a cautionary tinkle. They were perfectly pleasant but not
very exciting. Music would be good but I think wall murals would
help. see photo!
