Author Letters from "The Times" newspaper (30th Aug 2004) :^):

Following recent publicity about the amount of binge drinking that
goes on in the UK:

Letter 1:

From: Mr Mike Robinson

Sir, As I watched a cricket match on a rare sunny day a fortnight ago,
I left unattended - for no more than five minutes - about an inch of
cider in a pint glass. When I returned, nine wasps were floating in
it.

Yours sincerely

----------

Letter 2:

From Mrs Hughey

Sir, A couple of weeks ago an anonymous half-empty bottle of Waitrose
Cream Sherry was donated to the Piddletrenthide church fete. Our
wasps are ecstatic.

Yours faithfully

------------------

Now, a letter of interest to grammarians ? :^)

Sir, I recently spotted this strange item on the menu of an excellent
little restaurant near Cambridge:

"Char-grilled diver caught scallops".

I chose the crab.

Yours truly

Paul Mitchell
