The comments are as good as the non-letter. Clever AI. Clever 14 year old girl. And a dancing Terry eh? Now that I can’t picture. (John Travolta and Patrick Swayze - yeah, that was the way to a girl’s heart…)

Unsent letters. Imagine how many of those are floating around the world!

I think this has inspired me to get back into Made In Chelsea after a five year hiatus. 👏👏😂

You are wondering 'if today’s letters are far too casual or informal', Terry? Do you mean letters in general, or our correspondence in particular? Let me remind you that MY letters represent the very pinnacle of formality - and I know this because I make a point of editing out ALL uses of the vernacular and almost EVERY swear word just before I hit 'Publish'!

'You're not a saxophonist, are you?' Too funny!!!! 🎷🤣

As always, love reading your letters to Rebecca. And, I think the 14 year old girl you mention is pretty wise for her age. Also, do you teach children often? I think they would have good fun with your teaching style after they learn when you're joshing and when you're not. If I were 14, I think I would prefer your teaching style over some teachers I had when I was 14. A few come to mind. You win, hands down.

I want to see your dancing feet. I will watch Saturday Night Fever on YouTube.

Are you a dancing feet stand in? Or rather, dance-in? Were those your size 10’s dancing in for Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing?

"Wait a minute! AI never lies...." What? Have you never heard of GIGO? I can't tell you how many of my Substack subscribers are actually bots. But no doubt far more that I want. When someone subscribes to 🍁Leaves, whose profile shows no posts, no likes, no notes and who "reads" 953 other Substacks? I delete them immediately. For all the good it will do. Love the letters, Terry. I always feel like I have had a visit.

“I think we all knew that.” 😂

How boring if you ceased to speak in that class!

'OK, I’m back. How disappointing that you misread my reference to blue plaques as “blue plague”. Very imaginative, but even so. I mean, I even included a link to the blue plaque website for heaven’s sake. <Sigh>'

I couldn't stop laughing at this.
