Laughed so hard when I read this, I nearly wet myself.

Has to be the funniest and probably most accurate letter I've ever seen published.

    Read this last night and couldn't stop laughing. Especially liked the "shuffling old duffer" bit.

    haha, funny article.

    Had a week of work last month and popped up Bexleyheath during a weekday. Christ, it was like a circus. Some really strange people about. I suppose you know a town is going down the sh*tter when theres more than 2 poundshops in the High Street.

    You should try Gillingham High St on a Saturday. On second thoughts, don't!

    Or Gravesend any day of the week.

    Poundshops and Mobile Phone Stores, plus the obligatory Sports World.

    ha. Bexleyheath, down by Asda, has about 4 or 5 card shops that sell other random stuff, including plastic footballs and lightbulbs. Not sure if Gravesend or Gillingham have the same but WTF are they all about?!!!...full of old Doris they are.

    Frightening when you think it's not much more than half an hour away. It reminded me of one of those run down Northern shiteholes you encounter at some away games.

    Lol, my wife pointed this out to me yesterday ... great letter.

    You can bet it was sent by one of the 16 yr old mums who believes the world owes her a living. Funniest thing is as it is the star letter, the sender wins a Pilot Pen ... that won't get much use lol

    Get down to Woolwich, so many pound shops you can do a weeks shopping for seven and half quid.

    Too well written and dry humour to be written by a 16 year old Mum.
    Loved it, probably written by a 55 year old in a hurry.


    Reminds me of my ex-wife's grandmother.

    She came in saying, "I've just helped an old dear cross the road."
    Gran was 92 years old!
