Dear Editor,
As we approach half term it would be a good time to consider the lot of the scholars: They have to wear absurdly boring uniforms and gingham dresses with sturdy shoes. No hair gel, fancy hairdos, make-up or jewelry to compensate for the continuous studying of boring subjects. These kids need to get a life - no wonder they overeat!
I think that the Aussies have it about right - the kids do their lessons on the radio at home and when they get ill there is the Flying Doctor. These kids get to spend time with the neighbours and have no need of homework.
Yours,
Leslie Bowman

Sir,
It's great! I can't wait for further adventures.
Do you accept submissions?
Cheers!

ED: TR, you'd be surprised what we at the Ledger will accept.

Dear Editor,
What's with all these power cuts in Lympshire - last night it was Compton-Pervers and
this morning I hear parts of Watchester are out.
Almost like somebody (or
something) is testing the grid 'just in case', makes me
wonder if something is going on which we're not being told about.
yours in worry,
Dally Squires (Mr),
Titanic Drive,
Bridly Nortington.
ED: The Ledger is based a few miles north of you, power cuts happen every time the
weather is bad and we can't get out to feed the meter.

Dear Editor,
How absolutely spiffing to see that your veritable old organ is now online - what a time saver! The lady wife and I are avid readers of the Ledger and frequently come to blows over your editorials - who wouldn't!
For this little household, the Lymp Ledger is more than enough! I often think that if today's multi-bangled youths had been brought up on a daily diet of the Ledger society would be a lot different than what we find about us. I know I was and I, for one, am the better for it!
Yours,
Captain Gordon Chumplet (RN Ret.),
The Laurels,
Compton-Pervers.
ED: We seek to please but do go easy on Mrs Chumlet!

Dear Editor,
In 1972 I wrote to my MP regarding my overweening concern for lugworms in the tidal stretch the River Eknold. These denizens of the inter-tidal zones have for decades had a rough time of it at the hands of boys and grown men who should, by rights, know better.
I wrote again in 1975,78,85,90,95,2000 & in March this year, obviously not to the same MP but the result each time was the same: an indifferent pre-printed postcard from the Palace of Westminster.
Why, Oh why, will no one take me seriously?
yours,
Lucinda Toshintons (Miss),
(address withheld).
