LORNA HOBMAN, of Jubilee Close, Dartmouth, writes: I write regarding the letter from Mr TM Smyth, of Kingswear, complaining about Dartmouth naval college. I read your letter, Mr Smyth, and quite honestly I had a right giggle. I'm assuming you have never heard this before. You claim not to be an old fuddy duddy, yet you complained to the environmental health department and Britannia Royal Naval College the first time you heard it. You are quite right your not an old fuddy duddy – your a young fuddy duddy! But don't worry, young man, there's no need to feel down, I said young man, you will probably never hear it again but may I suggest closing your window at night to help block any form of sound. I'd be pleased if I was you, the military woke you up free of charge, it's saved you some precious wear and tear on your alarm clock! Daylight saving time must be your worst nightmare, it'll mess with you sleep routine and everything! I know the slightly earlier time you were woken up early by the people in the Royal Navy must have been difficult but do you know what wakes me up every morning at 4.52am? Bloody seagulls. Do you know why I've never written a letter of complaint? Because, Mr Smyth, seagulls can't read. When you got out of bed to get the phone to complain, did you hesitate and put your left leg back in, then your left leg out? Did you then shake it all about? Please note, if you sung the different lyrics I have put in this letter while you read this, you may have an extra biscuit with your cuppa!
