Chatting up techniques

Sir: How delighted I was to read Zenga Longmore's article on the chatting up techniques (26 October). I haven't had such a good laugh for ages. It really took me back to the many happy years I spent in Zimbabwe. I was only upset you didn't print her phone number so she could savour the delights of chatting up West African style! Maybe next time.

Keep it up Zenga. I hope to hear a lot more of you!
