Another great letter, Terry! Your father-in-law - you must have had so many laughs, the two of you - that's brilliant.

I had no idea that postcodes represent only eight addresses - that's extraordinary. I thought they were whole streetsworth at a time - I've learned something!

I'm very worried about the special wooden carpenter from whom you'd pinched the pencil. Did your appropriation of the item compromise his or her career? I do hope not.

£50? Is that all a title costs? Well, my goodness, your nobleship! I sure wish I had known that. It would have changed everything about the way I traveled through Britain all those years... sigh.

Fine letter today, pal. And yes, any time I hear the words "new and improved" I just snort. Not likely.

😆With such authority on the post, stamps, mailing options, the bus schedule, photography, not to mention your authority on potatoes and let’s not forget books and 🐈‍⬛, I think you should run for mayor!

'Father-in-law: How do you get the photo you just took from the camera to a picture you can hold?

Me: Well, I take this card out of the camera, and when I get home I insert it into my computer, and then I open up a photo program and then I load the picture from the card to the program and then I print it out.

F-I-L: Ah yes, so much easier than a Polaroid³.
