Letters to the Editor
Topic: levers.tripod.com
Every now and again, I like to sift through the many letters from the ten or so people who might have read this blog once.

First, a bit of support from Mr Simon Spanky Shaw who says:

"I have recently taken my second driving lesson and managed to break the speed limit, but then what should anyone expect when Danger Powers is at the wheel.

"Take heart though, as Hugoid has just failed his sixth test and will no doubt be overtaking you soon enough."

Cheers Simon. I haven't the heart to tell him that in fact it was all a lie and I actually passed my test on the first attempt when I was 17. I can dream, can't I? (well, I certainly can't drive. Sob!)

Next, Mr Cowler, who says:

"I muse about sild, not silt."

Hmmm. Interesting. I muse about sluts myself. Just take a look at the entry below. Woohoo!

Finally, we must end it seems on a complaint.

"Dear Sir,

I write to complain about the amusement value you derive from someone having the name "Roger Rogers". I have lived all my life with this name and no one has even sniggered. No one laughed at Magnus Magnusson, so I am writing to my MP. Oh, sir, this is war.

Truly yours

Alex Roger Rogers"

Let me assure you, Mr Rogers. No comedy value was had whatsoever from the misuse of your name. Of course, what I had failed to mention, was that every member of the Rogers family going back five generations, have had the middlename Roger*. For example, Alex's brother's full name is John Paul Roger Rogers**, and his Second Uncle twice removed should be referred to as King Louis IX of Northern France Roger Rogers***. But, it was a happy coincidence that Alex's new wife Gail, in fact also shared the name Roger, making her now Gail Roger Rogers****.

*Again, this may be factually incorrect
**As may this
***And this
****This is probably wrong
