The Art Of Communication
| A little off track today but, there again, maybe not. Communication is what the world is all about and it's the writer who has to get his or her message across and be understood. Anyway, getting back off track, here are some extracts from genuine letters sent to a Pensions and Benefits Office: I cannot get sick pay. I have six children, can you tell me why this is? You have changed my little boy into a little girl. Will this make any difference? I have no children as my husband is a bus driver and works all day and night. In accordance with your instructions, I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope. Milk is wanted for my baby as the father is unable to supply it. Re your enquiry. The teeth in the top are alright but the ones in the bottom are hurting horribly. I want money as quick as you can send it. I have been in bed with my doctor all week and he does not seem to be doing me any good. Unless I get my husband's money I shall be forced to lead an immoral life. Sir, I am glad to say that my husband, reported missing, is now dead. Mrs. Smith has no clothes and has not had any for a year. The clergy have been visiting her. This is my eighth child. What are you going to do about it? So, I wonder if our blogs are always understood! Good luck, Mike.

Ah communication is the key!
Regarding your comment about our blogs being understood - I suppose that we expose only what we wish others to see and are often too much in our heads to make sense to anyone else...but you get your point across so nicely Mike!

Hi Tisha,
But do readers understand what we are willing to 'expose'?
Mike.
