Title: Text Maniacs
Post by: Rob Baker on July 24, 2014, 12:46:00 AM
I thought I’d start to scan in a few readers letters and texts (some which seem to have been printed verbatim) which have been published in the Daily Star over the years.
There are lots of Peep fans out there, as these letters show -- some reasonably intelligent, some just plain bonkers.  A bit like the members of this Forum really....

There were some very flattering texts and letters printed in the Star too Sandy.  And as we all know how Roger loves praise, ought I to post a few of them as well?  ..0

Please do Rob, the opinions of others are always worthy of a post or two.    ;D


I actually did a double take on the Beau Peep knitwear clipping. When I saw the £2.25 price for the BP t-shirt, I thought it was a real old clipping. Then I realised it was simply a recent advert offering them for their true value. D'oh.   ;)

I'm pretty sure this was from one of the "Slug" specials we did back in the eighties. (Slug being a disgusting caveman character Andrew and I produced for a few years). As you can see, I even wrote the "letters to the editor"!
