I have just opened a letter that reads:
Dear Mr Clark,
I heard one of your members speaking on the Jimmy Vine Show (sic) today. I could not believe my eyes (sic) when he said that people should be allowed to smoke in and on NHS premises including hospitals! No, seriously, he did, I kid you not.
Now, as a single mother of five daughters with five different fathers, I am up for a bit of challenging the 'system'. However, I think you would agree with me that what he said was idiotical. Which, ipso facto, makes him an idiot.
Do you agree? I would love to know your views on this.
Thank you and best wishes.
[Name and address supplied]
You couldn't make it up.
As it happens "one of your members" was me and my correspondent means the Jeremy Vine Show which replaced the Jimmy Young Show several years ago.
Then again, I'd give anything to listen to Jimmy Vine. He sounds a hoot.
