I believe he has just announced a heavyweight title fight against Albrighton Harrison.

Just a word of warning in case the important looking letter is from a Court or bailiffs.

We have a (very tedious) ongoing battle with a firm of bailiffs who are trying to collect a significant Court fine from someone who gave a fake address (ours) to the Police or Court.

They know he doesn't live at our house and they have no right to enter our home, but that doesn't stop them from turning up and threatening to do so on a regular basis.

So, I would definitely return the letter (unopened, if there's a return address) to sender with a clear letter from you saying you've not heard of this person and he doesn't live at your house, and keep a copy of it.

I would second that. We had a problem some years ago when a woman decided to use our address every time she got caught not paying her train fare. We had endless letters. There was no return address so after a couple of 'please return to senders' I finally opened one to find out what they were - purely for the purpose of getting it sent to the right person - just in time, as we would have had a visit from the bailiffs shortly afterwards. I rang up the train company to explain and we never got another one.

I've had the same problem with baliffs, took a few plain speaking letters with advice on how to word them to get them off our trail.

Anyway, does anyone know Vic Burns?

It does if you stick it up your bum.

[alice]

thanks for all advice - still can't track him - i'll return to sender... it was from a university medical school..

Very funny quip about Vic Burns

[Lee Scoresby]

I knew a Fred Clapper.

That name always rang a lot of bells.
