curacao Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Have a look at this: an A level student wrote to 80-odd politicians asking if they'd ever done anything like skateboarding, biking, roller blading, etc, to win a bet with his dad about whether today's politicians are less interesting than those of the past. Some of the replies are really interesting .. not to mention the photo of Margaret Thatcher on a toboggan http://www.statesmanorskatesman.co.uk/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huz Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Yeah, this site is far too interesting - and I don't know why! Some of the replies are great, though. At the other end of the scale, I have to admire Lord Carlisle's laziness (see image) Also, John Prescott makes about as much sense in writing as he does in speech!

Erwin_Br Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 This student's English is even worse than mine, while English isn't my native language! (I'm referring to his letter, of course) Some of those replies are indeed very entertaining! --Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed loads of apostrophes and other grammatical elements. Oh well, I can't help but admire the idea, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
