[Uncle Urchin]

was a london fishmonger who wrote letters to anyone and everyone....the two books containing those letters (and their replies) are so funny and well worth a read....

 

I just knew I had come across a style of detached and rhino skin irony similar to rhodes's before...

Amazon describes the letters as "The eccentric, ribald, hysterical writings of semi-retired wet fish merchant"

Uncle Urchin - This is amazing, I was captivated by Henry Root and his letters years ago and still have his books somewhere, I'll endeavour to dig them out and post some of his master pieces on here, one he wrote to Brian Clough springs readily to mind.

Bitch - I'd much prefer to whisper them in your ear personally, what do you say!

No none at all, why do you ask. You never know, one thing might lead to another.
