IN response to the letter published recently entitled 'Little credit'

As a frequenter of the mentioned 'well established Spa Cafe and Bar I feel compelled to defend it against the silly and unnecessary insinuation made.

Firstly it is well established because it offers great food and a very friendly service, both day and evening.

Secondly, the sign that clearly sent this lady’s knickers spinning, is one of many dotted about, to which fellow inhabitants of planet Earth find funny and endearing.

Thirdly, perhaps the reason the lady thought she was only one of two there that day, is because whilst she was sipping her cup of tea, with little finger cocked, everyone else was outside in the pretty garden, eagerly awaiting their no offence taken ‘smack in the mouth’.

Finally, I hope in future this lady will receive such signs in the true nature of their intent, which is to induce a bit of welcomed amusement and not to be taken literally. However, as there is usually an exception to most rules, the sign I picture above this lady’s front door is one I would take literally… ‘A woman void of humour lives here.’ S Archer Droitwich (the humorous side)
