Times

When I get the Times newspaper, there are a few bits that I will always look at: the KenKens and the T2 crossword being firm favourites for a starter.

One other place I will always check is the final piece of correspondence on the letters page, and more often that not, there is something there worth a chortle.

Today's final letter was entitled Name Game, and had the following:

"Sir,
Football matches between East Fife and Forfar offer the prospect of continuing satisfaction for fans of alliteration, but for cricket fans the wicket of Lillee, caught Willey, bowled Dilley is unique."

And this published before the sad news today that Graham Dilley's innings has come to an end at the young age of 52.
