LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of my nine companions and myself, I'd like to say that we are totally appalled at the decline in moral standards seen in this community. What sort of example are we setting for our children?
Sncerely yours,

Look, none of the posh gits in the big house on the hill are going to be interested in a lunch or even a snack that's a simple piece of cheese clapped between two slices of bread and a pickled onion on the side. Posh gits eat posh food and I've heard My Lord Sandwich likes his venison pasties. Now finish your lunch and get on with the work, we got to finish ploughing this field before sunset.
