Hope Our Love Lasts And Never Dies

Sounds innocent in these coarse & in-yer-face times.


It was the acronym that spelt HOLLAND, & it was written on the back of 1950s & 1960's love letters.

Of course there were some wags who overstepped just a little way over into indecency, but what the heck.

I can't remember all of them. I used NORWICH** on more than one occasion . The postie had a jingle which went DEAR OLD POSTIE DONT BE SLOW but it isnt an acronym.

BURMA...was Be Upstairs Ready My Angel

NORWICH (Knickers Off Ready for When I come home)




ITALY
I trust and love you

Quote Robert Junior.

BURMA...was Be Upstairs Ready My Angel

Anytime I came home late from the pub in my younger days the missus would be in bed, but she would leave a note beside my cold supper, it had just one word on it- DUBLIN

DUBLIN was… Don’t Undress Because Love Is Noton.
