Subject: UFO Mystery
"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one he said"..
Do aliens really exist.. is an age old question, but scientists say that it is a mathematical certainty that the universe is not only home to alien life-forms but it is in fact TEAMING with life!
As a small child of 7 I recall with clarity sitting in our then back garden in Grimsby and watching as a UFO the size of a football pitch hovered about 50 feet above my head.
Excitedly I called my mother "MUM, COME QUICK!" I hollored.
"THERE`S A UFO THE SIZE OF A FOOTBALL PITCH HOVERING 50FT ABOVE MY HEAD. PHONE DAD AND TELL HIM TO BRING HIS CINE CAMERA. THEY`RE PROBABLY FRIENDLY BUT BEST BRING MY CATAPULT TOO MUM JUST IN CASE!"
Mother rushed out to see what was going on. "LOOK!" I exclaimed. "LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT UFO MUM!!!"
Now I was famed for being a bit of a "Boy who cried Wolf"
in those days and Mother, bless her, looked up at the UFO, then fixed her gaze at me and said as only mother could:
"Have you been telling tales again you naughty boy, that spaceship is never a football pitch in length, I know where you get your exaggerating ways from, your father reckons his manhhood is the size of a cucumber.. a maggot more like !"
Those were the days...

Well young man, I can see your problem, Grimsby you say? There was a ophthalmologist in Grimsby who was a rather odd chap as I recall. Both farsighted in the left eye and nearsighted in the right, to make matters worse he suffered from dyslexia. To make matters even worse his stuttering was completely unintelligible. The Royal Ophthalmological Society eventually had to have him removed to an atoll in the Pacific for everyone’s well being.
Well you can see the problem, of perhaps you can’t as many of his patients never recovered. He would examine a patient, and in his dyslexic way write the wrong diopter for the lenses, as no one could understand a word he said there was no way to verify the accuracy. I suspect both yourself and your father had way to strong of a prescription, while you Mum was cursed with demagnifing spectacles. By the way do you still have you spectacles? This chap was a wizard at making his own tortoise shell frames, sometimes not even bothering to remove the tortoise first, I would dearly love to have some for my collection.
