Dear Hillary,
Don’t feint (sic), its Delboy. So sorry for the long delay between drinks. Sorry I mean between letters to you, the champagne is yet to come. I am still living in Thailand, I would be mad to leave this country, as you know, it’s the people that make it the best place on earth. My gripe is my nickname for the country, I call it ‘’Triple Wrapped Thailand’’. There was I with a nice cup of tea, thinking a biscuit would go down well with the cuppa. I got the packet of biscuits from the cupboard, tried to prize the plastic wrapper off but to no avail. Okay it was the scissors to the rescue. On opening the wrapper I was confronted with a further eight plastic wrappers each one containing two biscuits in each! I guess when I had the strength of King Kong it would have been easy to get to into the final wrappers but at 75 years of age my strength was not enough, so it was the scissors again. By this time the tea was cold, thanks to good old triple wrapped Thailand. Please can you give me a list of any single wrapped biscuits you may know of. Or should I stick to iced tea?
PS. Please keep up your good advice, we do love it.
Delboy
Dear Delboy,
Rest assured I did not “feint” (common boxing term), but it was almost a “faint” (common medical term) as I thought you must have died. Now then, your triple-wrapped bikkies. Did they come from the local lunatic asylum? Though I suppose you would then describe them as “shrink wrapped.” My local supermarket sells broken biscuits very cheaply, that might be the best bet and save money at the same time.
PS. Have you stepped off your motorcycle awkwardly recently?
