‘I have been slightly foxed now for four years . . .’

‘Suffering an enforced week off work and Slightly Foxed arrives . . . what bliss!! Time to enjoy it all in one sitting. Thanks for the quality of the magazine throughout the year; you have managed to uphold the high standards you set yourself from the start; it is much appreciated.’

‘Shameless advertising on your part [the postcards], of course, but I shall be delighted to help spread the word by using these cards when I write to people I think may enjoy the magazine. You are, as ever, a lovely firm to deal with: the hand-written message on the accompanying card was a nice touch too – so many people would have sent a printed message.’
