Letter to the Editor: Address to the nation

DEAR News Of The Area,

WHO didn’t appreciate the address to the nation by our esteemed leader?

However, he omitted to utilise time honoured props: say Harris Tweed jacket complete with leather elbow patches, Toto in the background lazing in front of an open (electric fire), carbon free of course.

No fossil fuel for Toto, thank you very much!

And maybe a pipe or cigar.

This momentous occasion reminded me of another great time in history.

Thinking of ditching my collection of Churchill memorabilia, outdated.

Now I realise, buses are the way to go.

Regards, Con VAN DARTEL,
Sawtell.
