YOUR LETTERS TO CANE SHUM - JUNE 2004
LETTER OF THE MONTH
'Ate more chocolate, now I need a size XXXXXXXL'
 Coming soon?
Feck me! What blisteringly beautiful designs!! Tho it has to be said that, if push comes to shove, (and it generally does in these parts 'specially up the Talbot) the choice surely has to be EAT MORE CHOCOLATE.

As, even tho Cadbury's have tried their downrite 'ardest to make the local population blow-up to the size of small zeppelins (see sports offer on prev. packs) it bliming clearly aint working, this most certainly being due to the explosion of Gym-b-lites You must 'ave seen 'um...'specially up by St.johns school (the only school to run police &beauty checks on all prospective parents) Never seen so much flippin lycra and the gyms just keep gettin bigger or thats what Aquaterra leisure keep threatnin!

SO, anything to keep up the quest for anti-fit cane.shum 's definutlee a goer wiv me Make mine an order for 80 and i'll write it into the new membership contract for the gym at the old leis. that they'll all be expected to wear one or be escorted off the premises by the jobsworths posing as lifeguards. Cheers me babber.

THE BANES FAN WRITES...
Why r u always getting on at BANES? They do a lot of good things too. The other day I told 'em the water was low in the boating pond. Within 2 days they had fixed it. So stop being negative and be a bit kinder, 'cos you never know who you're gonna meet. J. Keynsham.

• Well blow me down, BANES are out to save the World. Who would've noticed? Now get a job, loser!

LOOK WHAT YOU COULD'VE WON

FOUR FECK'S SAKE
Is it me, or do ALL four wheel drive, off road, jeep-driving twats think they own the road? Well that’s the impression they give to me. Anyone else feel the same? They never give way and they look at me like I’m some kinda lowlife, just because I drive a Skoda.
Benjamin Loelyfe

• Bang on mate! Bring on the amnesty and rid the roads of these ram-raiding rascals. Rah Rah!

MORNING ASSEMBLY
Anna, glad to see you are still keeping your finger on the pulse to see what is going on at St. John's Court although I do not believe a supermarket will improve Keynsham. Love the website, particularly the simulation of traffic flow which will be on my school's doorstep... Perhaps this is a cunning plan to get rid of Temple by other means! PS Where's my free t-shirt!!
