1st February 2010

Dear Craig Charles,

My cousin came up from London Town to visit me at the weekend and was all a flutter because she had found out that a certain Dave Lister would be at The Elbow Room on Saturday night playing some funk and soul, and so even though I was super poorly after drinking too much wine I made it there for 9pm, because that’s the time the flyer said on it. And so we waited for a bit and then it got to 10pm, and we thought ‘ooh he’ll be on now!’ and then at 11pm I remembered reading ‘11pm’ somewhere on the flyer and so we got well excited thinking ‘he’ll be on now, you just wait!’ and then you didn’t come on til after midnight and by then I thought I was going to cry because my hangover paranoia had kicked in and people were looking at me funny, I swear it.

So basically, we danced for about an hour or so and then my feet hurt and my tummy hurt and my head hurt and it smelt a bit of B.O. and everyone else was drunk and even though the music was well funky and that we went home because basically it was way past our bedtime. When we came into town we used our Dayriders and to be honest I was hoping we could use them home but by then we were nearly two hours too late, so thanks for that.

I was going to ask you to reimburse me the £8.20 I had to pay for a taxi thanks to your lateness but instead I’ll accept a signed photo please, thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Lucy Knight
