Please be advised that matters regarding your deceased Uncle, Christopher John Francis of 2 South View Fletton Peterborough are continuing and that the rape and pillage (theft that means me ducks) of his house, monies and other belongings continue to be contested with matters concerning the manipulation of his last will and testament and his express wishes for the disposal of his estate (long words ent they!) (phew) I think you get the gist don't you......

2 South View remains in the balance ducklins

You are advised to cogitate upon these matters and to do your duty

Do not be threatened or intimidated by external factors or Papa or Mamma, just do your duty.Remember you do have connexions with an honourable family, the Francis lineage (like me mates) , and put aside the others and any didycoys that cross your path

You childhoods may have been, well, unusual, but, in Larkin's words ;

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

Words cost nowt right me ducks! What needs to be repaid is money that has been pilfered and filched for whatever reason over the years. This means school fgees too me darlins. Ask Grandma Francis for a list and add the £2500 odd that is owed to me.Do the sums O Ye Wanna be Skool Teachers you, and report back, ask Mamma to leave some cash this time before she leaves for Franze and discourage Noomi Baby from asking for more pennies from Grandma Francis whilst we sort out Grandma and Granpappies bank account.

Tell Marcooze Letwin to leave anyfin in South Parade and not filch it and, remember you Uncle Peter loves you all, Oh yes he does, wont you me ducklings?

You have my number if you want any clarifications (is ye any good at maffs??) and, remember, no squabbling in the street now!!!¬
