I love these.
I bought something on Ebay and it is being sent from Hong Kong. The supplier is concerned that I should be aware of possible delays due to Christmas being so close. So he sends me a reassuring email, as follows.
Thank you for you patience and kindness, the logistic company has informed us that your order is being on the road, and we shipped it to your ebay address, but it maybe a little delay because of the boom season. Anyway, pls freely touch us if you still fail to get your order in one or two weeks, we will follow up it further for you.
It reminds me so much of the bricklayers letter to his boss that Gerard Hoffnung made so famous.
We went to visit Sally in London for a few days last week and had a great time. I am still having problems with my feet but I have now developed a style of walking that minimizes the pain. We stayed at a hotel very close to Covent Garden and visited all the closer places of interest including the new and improved British Museum. Some of the small local shops in the area are also very interesting, I bought a DVD I have been after for years for just £5.00 and we had an amazing meal at a Korean owned multi-cultural takeaway. Visiting Hamleys after all these years was an interesting experience, especially with Hazel. She managed to spend over £100.00 on presents for the grandchildren, nephews and nieces. A trip on the Docklands Light Railway took us to see the Cutty Sark and we also managed a trip to Hammersmith to see one of Sally's favorite shops.
