Virtually verbatim, the remark my 80 year old father made when I showed him the letter. What is the world coming to when elderly parents know about sex not related to reproduction? :shrug:

Anyway, do you think I should complain to the editor?

"Dear Sir

I am somewhat disturbed that in the last edition you published a letter submitted by someone choosing to conceal their true identity behind what is quite evidently a soubriquet, and rather a rude one at that.

Yours in disgust,
Seymour Cox"

Nope, nothing in today's issue about it and no other rude names on the letters page either. What a shame

The Coxwell Inn... isn't that in the charming hamlet of Herbum near Tillit?

Incidentally, isn't Mr Litteris the famous glosstortionist? Yes, thought so, he's a tongue twister...
