The Kerb-Crawling of Ms. Alice Zimmer

Dearest Chlamydia

I’m afraid that Ms. Zimmer still harks back to days when the purpose of our group was quite different. If you remember the cat was originally an absent-minded “part payment”, the poor thing. But what with all the recent problems its predicament has not been at the forefront of my mind.

As for Miss Mountjoy, I will confess that a number of my ladies have complained that when they come in close proximity to her for any period of time they need to take iron tablets to counteract the anaemia.

All things considered I think the poor old thing should be put down if nothing else can be done. (The cat that is, not Miss Mountjoy!)

Yours, as ever

  • Denture Fitting

    We have had to remind our members that it is not only bad form, but also unwise to appropriate dentures belonging to others. As Miss Radcliffe so tragically discovered, a correct fit is essential since loose devices can lead to accidental tonsillectomy.
