Last time you wrote a letter?

whiskeyman

When was the last time you picked up a pen / pencil / inked quill and wrote a letter?
Perhaps to a loved one?
Santa?
Your local TD?
A far flung penfriend?
Business matters?

Typing and printing doesn't count.
Birthday / wedding / christmas cards etc... don't count either.
I'm taking about a good old fashioned hand written script here.

I honestly can't remember the last time I did.
Emails really have killed any need for me to write a letter these days.
There could we be a generation now who've never written or received one! :eek:

Last week.

Did you not get my love letter?

I have an old Auntie to whom I send the odd letter. A couple a year perhaps.
My handwriting is brutal so I am not sure that she understands what I write to her...but she does respond.

Its nice to open the letter box and have an old fashioned letter in there. All though the kid in me still hopes there is a fiver in that letter.

I have had to write letters to my bank and to my electricity supplier recently as it was the only way I could get in contact with them. Oh I know they have phone numbers and email addresses but it's a pity they don't answer them.
They did respond to my written letters.

On a serious note, i've no idea when the last time is. I bearly send birthday cards these days. Just a text and a few quid or a present.

Never, don't do communication

I had to write a letter to bank of Ireland not so long ago - ridiculous really - just needed to cancel the overdraft facility on my account and because I am living abroad, they told me I should write them a letter. Not possible to cancel it over the phone and no fax or emails accepted. :rolleyes:

Writing a letter in itself isn't the problem. It's having to buy a stamp and find a post box that is the pain in the arse. If you have pen, paper and an envelope to start with of course.

I have some lovely old letters that were sent to me by people who are now dead. Precious things to me.
Cant imagine getting all sentimental about an email or facebook message!

I do quite a bit, have a notepad especially for letters and all, usually I'll throw some extra crap in (Tesco coupons, hair clips, whatever is small and lying around) , usually find the restrictions of it all pretty fun. It's like making a really **** lucky bag!

Might be wrong, but I don't think I ever received a letter that wasn't something formal or some kind of card. Replies usually come in the form of calls or emails.

Twenty years ago as a little girl....I wrote to Sir David Attenborough! I'd become a big fan after watching my Dad's VHS of Life On Earth and decided to write to him. I think I asked him how he became a naturalist and so interested in animals etc (not in so many words of course!) and he, to my surprise and delight, wrote back !

He told me that he hoped I would always continue being interested in nature as it would bring me endless pleasure....how right he was!

Probably not since I got my first PC to be honest... about 20 years ago now

In fact the last time I ever did any sort of actual writing - beyond the usual cards, signatures etc - would have been in the Leaving Cert. Still remember having to do hand-written essays for History and such.. took forever! No Google in those days either
