A more mellow way of writing.
So there I was, Tony Blair in his bermuda shorts in one hand, Tunnocks caramel bar in the other, happy as I possibly would be if I just found out my new neighbours just happened to be the Sodje's when it struck me... Tunnocks caramel bars.
I've eaten these things all my life, way back to when my nan used to give me one when I went round to see her. They are possibly the nicest chocolate bar in the world, and I think it was about time that I paid them a little visit via the gift of the old pen and paper variety.
But what could I write to them about? I could tell them that my nan has probably kept their factories open the last twenty years, I could tell them how much I loved them, or I could tell them that their wrapper had always confused me.
It confused me because it had 4,000,000 made and sold on it since i bought it, the numbers never changed. And I didn't know whether it meant 2 million made then sold equalling 4 million or 4 million made then sold. I decided that my letter should incorporate all of the above.
I back dated my letter by a day, not wanting to look like all I had done the last few days had been watch cricket and began my rather nice letter to the lovely people at tunnocks, they were going to love this.
