Rotten Eggs
Dear Mr Revilo What an omission - no reference to rotten eggs (or should that read 'iggs' ?). This will be corrected when the Pulitzer Prize version is prepared, together with a personal acknowledgement to your good self.

Publical humilification
Dear Pedant of Littleton Thank you so much for pointing this out. We do value your contributions here at Travelblog

Preposterous suggestion
I find it incredible that my successful attempt to sail singlehandedly up the M3 is being disparaged. On behalf of my backup team who worked tirelessly for months to make this venture possible, I must protest. My research team of AA patrol officers, dog handlers and Hampshire police frogmen not only provided essential information on traffic, stray animals and possible submarine attacks, but also essential emergency surveillance and standby on the day itself. I may have survived unscathed, but spare a thought for my crew, most of whom are still recovering and will live with the trauma of the experience for the rest of their days. Because of this, we shall be departing for Dubai with only a skeleton team of 17 dog handlers, most of whom have never seen a camel or kangaroo in their lives. I hope you will have the decency to inform next-of-kin should the unthinkable happen. James Cook (Capt. Retd.)

How dare I? I'll tell you
I know others see Twyford in a different light (i.e.daylight), but as a seeker and reporter of the truth, I feel morally bound to provide the world with an honest opinion. When I was in Twyford I was not impressed- most of the village was in darkness apart from the bit lit by streetlights. There will be other bloggers who manage to see the village between sunrise and sunset, whose reactions will no doubt provide an overall, balanced picture. I did say the prawns were really good and the people were very friendly, so perhaps you would do better next time if you didn't jump to conclusions that any review of Twyford is bound to be wholly negative. And it's a bit cowardly hiding behind a clever-clever anagram monicker. I know where you live. Don't ever forget that.
