Letters I love

I’ve mentioned before how much I love all the letters I get from my column. It’s my favourite part of the week.

Here are two I got from sunday’s article on etiquette (the post below this). I heart them big time. Enjoy.

Loved your article ~ as an Englishman from the ‘stiff upper lip’ brigade the VIG should immediately have apologised blaming dental work done that very afternoon and should have gently wiped the gob from your cheek with something clean. Preferably not a snotty handkerchief!

Sorry to hear about the unwanted penis ~ but keep trying!
Chris

Thanks Chris, I’ll keep on trying. If for no other reason than to bring you more stories. Hey, if I’m lucky the next guy will steal my car. Awesome.

Dear Paige,

Why do you think the ladies of 100 to 300 years ago always but always had a fan in their hands ? My friend, they used it very coyly to ward off these flying projectiles and unwanted mucus landing on their oh! so sensitive complexions. So there, and you always thought they used it for cooling themselves !!!! Moral of the story – keep an old fashioned fan in your handbag and blame hot flushes or use it very effectively as a tool to flirt.



I enjoy your column and hope I can be of help in future. You just need to ask dearie.


Kindest regards

Hi Suzanne, thanks so much for writing. I learnt something new. I always wondered about those fans. I went out and bought one immediately. Genius plan. I see you’re from Camelfoot Cottage, is that next door to Cameltoe Lodge? (I’m sorry Suzanne, I do love you, but I couldn’t resist!)

Let me give you a punt to make up for it. Camelfoot Cottage is an awesome Antique Dealer in Sea Point. If that’s your vibe check it out. Ask for Suzanne, she rocks!

have a good tuesday. x
