Dear Hovis
There are a number of Bovis homes under construction not far from where I live. As
I passed by the other day the bricklayers and their labourers were just starting
their lunch break. I observed that each and every one of them was eating sandwiches
made with Hovis bread. Now I realise of course that Hovis is popular, but ten men all
eating it is too much of a coincidence, and I got to wondering if there is any connection
between Hovis and Bovis, their names being so similar, and that the workers were getting
subsidised bread. Could I be right? Is Bovis indeed a subsidiary of Hovis?
Incidentally, each of the workers was a fine figure of a man and a testament
to your bread, with not so much an inch of buttock cleavage between them as
far as I could discern.
Yours faithfully  |
