Hang on a second, the granting of your title was the result of your having purchased ONE square foot of Scotland?! Have you ever been to the location? Did you build a castle? I feel that as your biggest fan I need to seek it out in order to pay homage to your status, so please tell your staff to expect me next time I'm north of the border.
Your tea set-up has too many accessories. Teabag + boiling water + teaspoon + mug = all that I need. As for water boiled by GAS - well, we're not connected to the gas network in these parts, so if I were to only use gas-boiled water I'd have to go out to the van to use the propane ring, and that's too much faff even for a tea addict like me to be able to contemplate.
I am preparing my response to all of the above - and more - to send via the normal channels. You may expect my letter, duly numbered according to the new method, on Wednesday next.
Not on the gas network? Are you in the sort of place that when Jim plugs in his electric razor all the street lights go out? Good grief. As for my square foot of land, #1 I didn't buy it: it was a 'thank you' for chairing a conference; #2 I go there every year for a holiday and to guard my property. Any interlopers from the south will be deported. Thanks for kind words, am looking forward to your reply, in which I hope you will tell me your news, including what you've been reading (I forgot to ask) 😊
I was afraid you might say that. It's worse than I thought. Do you even HAVE streets? My definition of a wilderness is anywhere that doesn't have a Starbucks. I don't use Starbucks, but it's emblematic of civilisation.
We DO have streets! There are two of them in the village, in fact: High Street and South Street - although I think the High Street has a name rather more generously lofty than its appearance might otherwise convey.....
Hmm, ok. If I ever move down there I shall stand for election and get street lights put up. Speaking of villages reminds me, when I went to Westleton back in october, during all those floods, someone told me of a 'better' way to get there. I genuinely thought I was going to get stranded in the middle of nowhere, because nearly all the roads were flooded. In Westleton, I discovered that the nearest bus stop was three miles away. I love villages, but I don't think I could live in one.
Thank you for the chortles, Lord Freedman. I very much enjoyed your reply to Rebecca however, the sex scene did not deliver quite as advertised. I think the teapot was steamier. LOL.
Hmmm... I might just have to take up smoking again just so I can put his Lordship’s Scottish Contract into me pipe in order to smoke it!! Caught any salmon lately? Now that I’ve done groveling your Lordship, I’ll go find a tea bag and have a cup of tea... except that it’s after midnight here, which probably explains the advanced drivelling going on in this comment... hmmm....
Ah well, all the best Lord Freedman. Thanks for another scintillating epistle. 🥳
Is Lord Freeman secretly in charge of the Noise Abatement Society?
Is Lord Freeman available for parties?
I am, and weddings etc! 😂
Laughed all the way through, Lord Freeman!

'...all the street lights...'??? WHAT street lights, Terry?! It's the antithesis of 'bright lights, big city' round here, you know! 🤣

Ah, now we DO have a couple of bus stops! 🏆

Happy New Year to you and Lady Freedman!
😂😂😂 Thanks, Jim. And to you and yours 😊
🤣 'I think the teapot was steamier'!!!

What? You would actually smoke my certificate? Shame. Typical. Thanks! 😊
