Hello, Mr Burke. I merely want to send you (again) greetings from dear old Werribee. I always enjoyed your TV programmes, and miss your expertise and good old Aussie humour (I am a mere transplanted Taffy). You, Sir, are a good bloke, and I wish you unfailing happiness.

Best always, Byron.

Answer:
That’s very kind of you Byron. As you might know, I have strong links to Werribee via my Grandmother who was a Carter – the egg farmers and nightsoil carriers of Werribee.

I am an avid fan of ‘Would I Lie To You?’ – the strongly Taffy comedy quiz show. Thanks for your comments about my sense of humour: there is very little that is funny on TV these days. Nothing to compare to ‘The Two Ronnies’, ‘Steptoe & Son’, ‘Hancock’s Half Hour’, and the best of ‘Monty Python’. If you are a ‘Two Ronnies’ fan, I can send you the script from their best segment ever: ‘Rindercella’. Just send me your email address and I will send you the script. It was passed on to me by a little old granny in country NSW. A beautiful and charming old dear with a wicked sense of humour. Don
