Letters weirdness
A couple of things from the local rag’s letters page.
First was a random love letter. Someone (whose name they did actually print) wrote in apologising to someone (unnamed) for doing something, the worst thing she’s ever done (apparently).
And this was not only considered for publication but actually published. Very odd indeed. Wonder if the letters page is being opened for all correspondence re affairs of the heart.
Next was this message about allergies.
“Do any readers have an allergy to fragrance, and if so, how do they cope with it, and also has anyone has found a cure?”
Maybe you’re not asking the right people. Try the medics.
After some more rubbish about “how doctors know nothing” she goes on to:
“I have been having homeopathy treatment for two years, combined with anti-migraine tablets at night, and now I just have headache and depressive/flu-like symptoms for three days, instead of three days in bed with violent migraine.”
Is this the marvellous “I take strong migraine tablets but it’s the homeopathy that helps” line of reasoning? I wonder if the homeopathy is the water she swallows the migraine tablets with?
And to finish:
“I am unemployable”
You don’t say.
