EDITORIAL
Of all the letters received by the editors it was nice to receive this positive letter.
Mr Editor,
I would like to thank Christine Goulding most sincerly [sincerely] for taking Pony Club, driving the buses and for being a nice person.
We hope you appreciated these words of thanks
Yours faithfully,
Thankful.
Mr Editor,
Mrs Barnett and Mrs Goulding have a complaint about a certain Headmaster – sorry principal – who has not presented them with their well earned and deserved box of chocolates.
Chocolate Craving Bus Drivers.
Sir,
In relation to the letter concerning the well earned box of chocolates.
I would like to point out that the chocolates were purchased and were being prepared for presentation at the major school function. But then the bus arrived late one afternoon to pick up the kids, and while waiting, I snuck a chocolate.
Then I was given some cheek, so I had to have another.
The slowness of the buses departing the school because of inter-driver natter sessions, caused a number of goodies to be consumed. Before I knew it, the whole of the top tray had disappeared. By this time I was in such a state that I ate the whole bottom tray before I felt better.
I was actually going to present these dear ladies with the empty box, but I felt sorry for them and decided to use it to store my bus complaint letters instead.
Yours Faithfully,
A very worried (but full) Principal,
In reply to The Worried & Full Head-person,
Due to the equity policy the editors object to being referred to as ‘Sir.’
Mr. Editor,
I have a complaint about Fathers coming home late, because they have been up at the club. I have heard about the teacher coming home late and falling asleep in class, ect [etc].
We wait for the father to come home with the pies for tea, then we look at the clock. Oh its only seven o’clock we say. Then when we look again and its nine o’clock.
Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.
Your’s Faithfully,
Mad
V M Barnett.
To The Editor,
I would like to complain about the unruly behaviour of locals. I was having a meal with my family, entertaining guests, when two gatecrashers walked in.
These gatecrashers were locals by the name of Martin Jones and Andrew Ward. The formal meal was then turned into a party, with John Weir and Chris Ward arriving later.
I went to bed at eleven, but the music that they had on kept me awake till about three O’clock in the morning.
Yours Sincerely,
Tired
Michael Ward
