Sir, Some time ago, a magazine that I subscribe to offered a free insertion in its dating section (letters, Jan 9, 13 and 14). Unable to resist the pull of something for nothing, I sent in the following: “Short, fat, ugly old woman with arthritis (cannot bend the knees), seeks kind, intelligent, blind, impotent millionaire.”
Sadly, I received no replies. Perhaps it was the wrong type of magazine.
