Now and then I receive a request to approve or reject a comment about one of my pieces. Is it spam or suitable for the trash can? Or is it a jolly interesting comment that will fuel the enthusiasm of our readership? Well this morning I got a comment on my article 'This one is from Daft for Soccer Gleghorn' article and it looked dodgy to me! Have a look for yourself:
Thank you. I have been searching for information about this topic for ages and yours is the greatest so far. [comment - surely there are no other such pieces] But what concerning the conclusion? [comment - is this a foreign person, or company because there is a poor grasp of English]. Are you sure of your source? [comment - yes and on this occasion there is no need to doubt it!]
The author is 'Marcnair' so I will grovel to him/her if the comment turns out to be genuine. Boy will I grovel.
I understand that spam was introduced just before WW2 and became very popular during those dark days. Do you recall spam sandwiches? I do and I thought they were tasty and very filling. Not sophisticated mind.

ReplyDeleteA bit late but better late than never. I started to serve my time in 1953 when we lived at 6 Victoria Court. I worked Saturday mornings and it was great on a freezing Saturday lunch time to open the back door to be greeted by the warmth from the Rayburn stove which was a type of Aga stove and the smell of my favourite Saturday meal. Fried spam in batter, chips and another new food, tinned tomatoes. I can still get pleasure from those far off meals. Three or four slices of bread and marge and two or three cups of tea rounded off that excellent fare.
