Dear Uncle Drago,
I'm a little concerned about the direction in which my love life seems to be going.
I only seem to attract weird men into my life these days. I'm not sure why.
I seem to attract men who assault my digestive system with out-of-date Fray Bentos pies, rancid ancient chocolates and paint-stripper wines from Belarus.
Men who take me out for drives in weird, knackered old cars. One of my recent flames took me out in some huge rusty, square Japanese box and I cut myself on the rusty front wing. Then he changed it for some obscure Spanish diesel thing that idles like a Victorian spinning mill and produced more smoke than a Clyde puffer.
The other night, my other love interest wanted to take me out in one of those Del-boy things on three wheels that fall over on corners. It wouldn't start at first, and then when it did, the exhaust exploded, and woke up all my neighbours and coated my favorite cherry tree in some strange mix of soot, oil and orange chocolate. Do you think my tree will recover? My neighbours are still cross with me too.
Then there are the bizarre accidents they have, like getting impaled on my sundial (it's never worked properly since) or getting their private parts stuck up the suction tube on my Henry. I'm on first name terms with the nurses in casualty as I'm always there trying to explain how these things happen to them.
Do you think there is any chance I could find myself a normal man who doesn't give me food poisoning, need taken to casualty and has a nice modern car like one of those lovely Toyota C-HRs?
I'd also consider someone like that lovely Mr. Morse that I see on TV with his beautiful old Jaguar and wonderful taste in music and won't turn up at my house with hideous Chris Rea records and play them at full volume.
What do you think I should do?
Yours faithfully,
That woman up the road
