I get the impression that these people just have too much time on their hands, very often their letters are pointless rambling drivel. Especially Messrs. Parker & Houlton, maybe they should look for a hobby of some sort.... Any ideas?
Errm, forum posting?.......

Phew that's ok then - I can't stand Folk music and don't much like the sound of Woburn Sands at this time of year!

Our redundant Saint George

It was Saint George's day recently. I actually met him the other day in Victoria Park, Stafford. It’s true. He was very distraught and crying. “What’s up, Saint George?” I asked. “You look glum. Where’s your horse and sword?”
“I’ve had to give them up,” he replied. “They were an affront to health and safety, also politically incorrect. But I’m not too bothered about that, I’m redundant. That’s what really upset me.”
“What do you mean you’re redundant?”
“I don’t have a country any more that I’m patron saint of. England doesn’t exist.”
Don't be too glum George, there's always Bulgaria, Aragon, Catalonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, India, Iraq, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, Serbia and Russia, as well as the cities of Genoa, Amersfoort, Beirut, Fakiha, Bteghrine, Cáceres, Ferrara, Freiburg, Kumanovo, Ljubljana, Pomorie, Preston, Qormi, Rio de Janeiro, Lod, Barcelona, Moscow, Tamworth and the Maltese island of Gozo.

Chin up.

At least they put their names to the letters which is admirable. Have seen Mr Parker's letter in Ex and Star (free copy) on a couple of occasions. If he is so annoyed about political scene maybe he should stand for council. Money where mouth is and all that and iIf he was online I am sure he would be a major contributor to this, and probably very many, forums!

It it is the so many 'anonymous' letters that get to me. I appreciate there maybe good reasons on occasions but I once saw a copy of the Post and only one letter had a name and address! Either secretive politicians or would be politicians, or maybe journalists themselves writing them.

LOL I always see their names after letters in the Snoozeletter and think ffs have they nothing better to do?? My vote is for DS Parker. He worries too much about pretty much everything.
