Camping disaster
Arranged to meet GF at Wookey Hole camp site. I arrived first, put up the tent, sorted everything out. Waited, waited, waited. Three hours late she turns up, in floods of tears. Get her to stop blubbing, then go to Wells for some grub. Every time I say something, she start crying again. We get back to the campsite and get down to some kip. About 4 O'clock in the morning, I'm awoken with the question, "why is it so light?" My, becuase we're in a fucking tent and its the middle of June, did not go down well. More calming down required.
Had an OK rest of the weekend, in the caves, going to Glastonbury Tor, and some nice walking. Sunday afternoon, she followed me to the M5 so she did not get lost, and we said our farewells on the bridge at the motorway junction.

A couple of days later the letter arrived. Apparently it was my fault we broke up, followed by a list of my shortcomings.

I haven't been camping since.

Did you deliberately misspell meet to make it sound like innuendo?

About 1993 I should think
Real letters and cards are nice to give and receive. Unless they are from Clintons.

nice...unless it says "Welcome to dumpsville, population YOU"
I cant imagine dumping someone by letter, because when you post it you have only started the process and it sits there in the box like a little cancerous dumping growth. And what if you speak to her? Has she received the letter? Do I tell her i've sent her a letter?

I'm thinking too hard about this.

We spoke on the phone on the Monday evening
and she didn't mention it. Perhaps I'm shit at detecting people feelings.

She sounds like a right mental
ah well, she's probably ruining some other poor sods life now

No doubt about it, she was rather loopy.
I don't wish her any malice though. It was her loss really.

You a wise level headed man.
I hope all my exes are fat and miserable failures, which is really messed up when you consider that i'm the one that generally ended the relationships.

that explains it
most of the population centres in the South West are full of weirdos. Exeter is the last bastion of normality

if Exeter is your last bastion
of normality, then things have gone seriously wrong
