I wrote this so you could know me better.

As the White Wizard of Alderely Edge predicted, after 100 days on Twitter, I became real. Close your eyes and touch the screen. Now we know.

Low Cut Tops in Readers Letters.

Dear Sirs,

I would like to bring to your attention something that I found in the letters section of my local newspaper today while I was waiting to have my haircut.

It really is much better than anything I could write as an original blog post today and so I am going to reproduce it here in full, as it was written.

The important thing to note is that this is not a joke but a genuine letter from a reader. I have included a photograph below of the letter in situ, which I took in the Barbers in the hope that I could share it straight away on Twitter.


But alas the picture was too blury and I can ony hope that a good number of people on Twitter bother to have a look. If you think it's worth a look, please RT the link. Thanks. DPx

Never mind shorts - what about low cut T-shirts?

RECENTLY you published a letter from a reader, ...August 4, decrying the disgusting shorts so many people wear nowadays.

How I agree. But what about other clothing trends?

Just the other day I was cycling through the town centre when I spied several young women, (I dare not use the term ladies), wearing low cut T-shirts.

The shock ofthis gross disregard for public morals distracted my attention, causing me to collide with the stationary vehicle ahead of me.

Having been thrown from the saddle, I received a grevious blow from the crossbar.

This should never have happened.

Even on the hottest day, my dear wife wears at least three heavy cardigans and a guardsman coat, deterring unwelcome attention from passing predatory males.

We were married for several years before she exposed even her feet to me. In fact that is all I have ever seen of hers done us no harm.

We don't want to live in a world where even older people suggestively flash their hairy legs, varicose veins and skin disorders to all and sundry.

Bring on Armageddon we say.

Either there is a future or current serial killer in town.

Or some joker sent it in and the editor thought it was worth a laugh or that it was 'grey area' enough to be real.

I will furiously deny all rumuors that I wrote this letter to the paper. Hmm low cut tops.

Now excuse me but I think my wife has passed out from overheating and I want to sneak a look at her ankles.

Post script: The next story was complaining about hairy chests in public (on men I presume) and the next was complaining about the more pressing matter of sandals "at least wear some darn socks with them!" Please, help I am trapped in a very strange town indeed.
