My Dear Martin,,

My apologies for troubling you, but I understand that you (or the kind posters to your organ) will offer advice on matters of the heart as well as pure financial affairs.

Might I start by telling you a little about myself? I am an educated sort of chap in the mid-autumn of my life and I would dearly like to meet a kindred spirit of the opposite sex with whom I can share my later years. It is of paramount importance that any such lady has the same interests as myself.

I lead a simple life. Four times a day I visit a small delicatessen owned by a Mr Jack Cohen. He is a delightful chap and employs staff of the highest calibre. Until recently, I have been purchasing goods to the value of £100 on each visit, but (for reasons that I shall not go into here) I have recently reduced this expenditure to £20 per visit.

My food needs are, as I indicated, very simple. For breakfast, perhaps a few cornflakes: lunch is usually beans with a Pukka chicken pie, but for my evening dinner I will have, perhaps, a rack of lamb washed down with a rather naughty chardonnay and a few bottle of Magner's fine cider. Naturally, I finish with a Cornetto. Obviously, I quaff a few cans of the life-blood of life (an elixir called Guinness!) throughout the day. Such is the life of a bachelor gay!

But enough of my life, and on with my problem.

On my last few visits to Mr Cohen's fine store, I am aware that I keep seeing a younger lady. I say "younger" but she may not be so much younger, as female friends have advised that there is a superb product manufactured by a concern named "Olay" which rids the female members of wrinkles, and which, incidentally, is sold at a far cheaper price by a competitor of Mr Cohen.

This young lady is a joy to behold, but I have not yet plucked up the courage to speak to her. If I am looking at the section of the store which deals in McCain Oven chips......she is there. If I am choosing some Iams cat-food for my dear !!!!!, she is there. Even if I move to the Pantene hair shampoo section, she is there. This may be simple coincidence, but I have my doubts


I am not sure if she is perhaps a little shy and wishing to know me better and become "acquainted" (shall we say!) and follows me around the store on the off-chance that we might speak to each other. Or perhaps she is one of these "stalkers" that I have read about in the tabloid newspapers.


I can think of no other reasons why I keep seeing this lady in Mr Cohen's establishment. I hasten to add, that when I have looked into the lady's shopping basket, her contents are identical to mine which shows that we are indeed kindred spirits.

To sum up......is the lady interested or me, or is it just the fine aroma of the Old Spice deodorant which I liberally spray about myself, having had the good fortune to acquire the same in large quantities at a more-than-fair price, the details of which I need not go into here.

Thank you for reading this.

Your kind advices are requested.

Heaven knows ,there has been some stiff competition, but this for me is the funniest post of the entire thread. I'm assuming you took a certain artistic licence with this, but in the unlikely event you are truly single - WHY? Hysterical.

I think it is a regional thing, looking at the FRAUD brigade. Those who are printing the same ones out over and over again. It will all end in tears, like we said in the beginning.

I really hope they aren't putting a hold on this tomorrow, my flatmate and I decided that since we've saved so much money from our food budget using DTD that the next 2 shops we do are going to charity - we thought we'd get one lot of shopping to donate to a women's shelter and another load of shopping to donate to a dog's shelter
