While
walking along the footpath that runs by the edge of the village green
recently, I noticed some freshly painted signs on the pavement that I assume
to have been commissioned by the parish council. They depict a dog. The outline
seems to be that of a scotch or cairnes terrier. About a foot below the dogs
hind quarters is a blob of paint with wavy lines emanating from it. Obviously,
the blob of paint represents dog stools and the wavy lines I assume represent
a disagreeable smell! Underneath the dog, in bold yellow paint, the words
"Clean it up-or face a fine"are written I've tried turps and paint
stripper and even scrubbed the whole sign with a wire brush dipped in white
spirit. The paint won't budge and so am I to face a fine? The parish council
know damn well the paint would be difficult to remove. This is just a stealth
tax if you ask me! The council should have better things do with their time!!!
Yours Ethen Cowdell-jones. (Retired civil servant ).

Hermione - where were you? I waited hours at the Boddingtons.
They said you had accepted the invitation.
You probably went up to London to see that banker chappie. I don't get it.
What has he got that I haven't?
Yours, still hoping. Bunty.

Can anyone find my toy Ferguson tractor? It was nicked from
my buggy when my parents were shopping at
Hams and Cheeses in Clutterbury at the weekend. Please call me if you know
where it is. Red one with a
fore-end loader and little man driving. About 5 inches long. From memory.

grandpa, Andrew. He won't hit you if you come clean. Honest.
A microlight has been discovered in Lower Bottom Field, Glebe
Acres. No body was there. Just the machine
with a blade missing from the propellor. Anyone lost it? These things don't
just fall from the sky, do they?
Call PC Derrick Dixon at Flockingham Police HQ. After hours is fine.
Slurpy - don't go so early next time. Love U 2 Bitz. Your own, Fumbles.
Mmmmmmhhhh.....
Pungent and deeply unpleasant pong coming from the Old Granary at
Linwell. It has permeated across the
village and I am not the only resident to complain. My chest hurts, my sinuses
are acting up and I have
repeated headaches and nausea. Smells like dead bodies in there. If we wanted
to to live amongst bloody
zombies, we would just watch The Walking Dead, wouldn't we? Mr Lancome - please
DO something. Paul
and Sandra Bittern.

Aldo Taglia-Farro trying to find the young lady who helped
him change a tire on the A419 last Tuesday.
The email address you gave didn't work. I must have written it down wrong.
I found your little purse thing
where it must have fallen when you were helping with the wheel nuts. It contained
three rubbers. Wanna
make it two? Please answer to these pages. Ciao, babe.
