This had me laughing out loud on the train today. It's absolutely hilarious and the content of the letters look like they are written by Reeves and Mortimer being advised by Adrian Mole. Really worth a read - a quick read and I just couldn't stop laughing. It's the sort of humour that is just up my alley.

Funny one time read. The replies to some of his letters are even more hilarious than the ones he sends out.
