‘Write I love you’ on the bill

Sir, - Valentine’s Day reminds me of the gesture by Groucho Marx to his lady friend. He asked the florist to send her a dozen red roses and to “write I love you” on the bill. – Yours, etc,

Sir, - My mum (who lives five miles from me in Dublin) has just received the Christmas card that I posted to her on December 15th. I’m so happy it has arrived in time for St Valentine’s Day!

The envelope confirms it was sent to Thailand (a well-known stop off point between Churchtown and Tallaght). Her birthday is in August so I plan to post her birthday card in June, just to be sure. – Yours, etc,
