CORRESPONDENCE

 

A few e-mails from the Editor's inbox...


Dear Sir,

As my wife fought valiantly to get a packet of pork scratchings from the pocket of my leather trousers at The Rose and Crown's 'Bike Night' this week, we were alarmed to see the lack of a decent defibrillator at the pub.

We believe the Friday night snuff club has the same concerns. Do you think the landlady would consider fitting one? If only as a safety net for one of our dear town councillors whose pulse tends to race rather, as my husband and his fellow bike enthusiasts buff their exhausts.

Many thanks,

The Whatley Wheelers, Whatley, Langport.

To whom it may concern,

Just after pinning up a 'missing cat' notice outside the Chinese takeaway on Bow Street this week, my wife and I noticed that a ball of wool had changed position in the window of the Cocklemoor Shop, a few doors down from the Parrett Cafe.

Has anybody else seen this and is it likely to happen again?

Thank you.

Dear Sir or Madam,

While wedged between a recycling lorry and an HGV coming the other way on Bow Street this Tuesday morning at about a quarter to ten, a fellow cyclist and I were delighted to see the 'do not disturb' sign on the door handle of NatWest Bank.

We'd always heard about it on the Discovery Channel but didn't realize it was actually true. Marvellous. We'll definitely be coming again next year.

Best wishes,

Dear Editor,

While admiring the extended men's section at the St Margaret's Hospice shop in Langport this week, I suddenly realised I'd seen it somewhere before. Is he still playing football for Langport?

Many thanks,

Dirty Gertie from Number 30.

Dear Carry On Langport,

While adjusting the ball and cock in the men's toilets in the centre of Langport this week, a gust of wind caused by a power surge on the automatic doors at One Stop caused the door of the block to slam shut and lock me inside.

I immediately phoned one of the emergency numbers on the back of the door, but Emma Swallows didn't answer and I was stuck there for hours before somebody freed me.

Could these numbers please be either removed completely or updated to ensure that nobody else suffers the same misfortune.

Yours,

(Plumber's name & address provided - just above the latch in permanent marker)
