Dear Scottie B.,
oh my, protocol catches me out. i assure you, the lower
case lettering was entirely due to forgetfulness in the
writing of the letter and that of habit. f, z and prof. t
all garnered the upper-case beginning probably because i
was looking at them on the page just before i wrote the
letter. so my apologies and promises of a much taller
beginning to your name in future.
as for the bbc, it has sat in the corner of various rooms
of mine for the past twenty three years and i now feel
elligible in the future to skip the upper case and resort
to the familiar low so i shan't apologise for that but pat
it fondly on the head like an old dog.
Bye Bye and Here's To Ye,
craig
