My dear Mum had the most beautiful handwriting. Her Brothers & Sister (My uncles & aunt) still to this day possess fabulous handwriting skills, that are a joy to read.

My handwriting, I am ashamed to say, is akin to having a spider crawl out of an ink well (remember them ?) & march haphazardly across the page.

My spelling is even worse & without the aid of a spell checker or predictive text, my writings would be no more than incomprehensible gooblygook.

Although I'm sure that even with the spell checker, some still would regard my musings as "incomprehensible gooblygook"

Letter writing along with the art of beautiful handwriting is unfortunately being steadily sucked from us by "technology"

JUst looking at the Sergeant Major youtube and cam across this one, I think the board should instigate a singing of this song at the beginning of all do's!

Pan Am used to have "The World's Most Experienced Airline" which was so good that Qantas purloined it a few years back.
