With his charm and wit surely he can't lose? Dear All,

Am I alone in seeing Rod dressed in his best Henry Lloyd, sitting in a cafe over looking a marina somewhere exotic, chatting casually to someone appealling? With his charm and wit surely he can’t lose?

There is a point of confusion though. There is a 'Sunday Market' every week, the customer base is, apparantly, almost entirely derived from daytrippers from Yorkshire. Nearly all of the stallholders also come from Yorkshire. Quite why both parties travel to Cleethorpes is a mystery to me, could they not do the same thing with greater ease and less expense in somewhere like Ilkley or the like? It says a lot about my favourite SE that I cannot find the joke you mention, merely the good doctors biog' Regards Rod Craig

The languauge would indeed be no problem as I speak the world's universal language fluently. Esperanto! OMITK

Think about how many poor people around the world are missing the delights of the Humber estuary and how many people would benefit from your visual description!

It is outrageous for a man in his prime to be struck by such boredom, although completely understandable given the Cleethorpes ingredient. Perhaps it is time to spread your wings a little further than our beloved county ..... beyond the Channel lies a land of gastronomic delight, perish the thought of a sausage bun, there is more to life. Doubtless a man such as yourself is swamped with invitations? Yes, yes, I know you wouldn't want to stay long incase the dreaded ennui returns but a short visit to somewhere exciting might be just the thing. p.s. Chelsea is on tonight followed by the scrumptious House and later, dare I say it ... a programme entitled something like, 'Learning to love your breasts'! ... can't wait.
