Dear Mr Editor,<\/p>\n
I was so pleased to see that the Half Moon is having\u00a0 a karaoke evening. \u00a0My late husband would have loved it, as there\u2019s nothing he enjoyed more than a little rock n\u2019 roll on a Saturday night.<\/p>\n
I would like to be there, but am a little nervous about what to wear, as it so long since I ventured forth socially, and is it all right if I come along as a single woman, as they are not always welcome?<\/p>\n
Is there any chance that your nice Mr Winterborne Longjohns will be attending?<\/p>\n
Yours,<\/p>\n
Amelia Badger (Mrs)<\/p>\n
The Editor replies<\/em><\/p>\n Delighted to hear from you Mrs B, and a Happy New Year to you.<\/em><\/p>\n I understand the Management of the Half Moon will welcome everyone regardless of \u00a0age and marital status. As for dress, we understand that some people will be wearing clothes from the 1950\u2019s or 60\u2019s, even rock n roll wigs, but this is not compulsory.<\/em><\/p>\n As for Mr Longjohns, alas we doubt that he will be tempted as there is no Wincanton Races on that day, and no-one has seen him in rock n\u2019 roll mode for decades. But you never know, ma\u2019am.<\/em><\/p>\n Like you, we are all looking forward to a great evening<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Mr Editor, I was so pleased to see that the Half Moon is having\u00a0 a karaoke evening. \u00a0My late husband would have loved it, as there\u2019s nothing he enjoyed more than a little rock n\u2019 roll on a Saturday night.
