Let's just hope it's an April fools joke, Pa Snip.....if not, it must be a touch of jealousy going on.

Nice one PaSnip. We should all have very agile dogs with our hoops and tunnels and plant supports. How do they know they are for dogs, they might be jumps for Shetland ponies

Looks very much like an April fool especially the part that says before 12 noon

Hope the meeting goes well. Beware of real life imitating art as happened to me.

Love it. It was the Mrs Kay Nein that gave the game away.
Does somebody else in your family have the same wicked sense of humour as you do?

Well considering I only thought of this one yesterday and had to find the crest to make my own headed notepaper I thought it went really well.
Nobody seems to have twigged the Roman numeral reference was in fact the date backwards.
Most questioned the name of Mrs Kay Nein, but seemed appropriate to me since the 'complaint' was about a dog training course.
The time of visit 'before 12 noon' was a very deliberate clue.
To finish off I looked up synonyms for the word 'fool' and decided upon Miss A Schlemiel. Fool in yiddish I am informed. I was going to call her April but decided that was far too big a giveaway.
After all, will you Miss A Fool
Most successful duping was at allotment site where I had three other plot holders who were on site this morning all looking at their watches as we got near to 11am, the alleged appointment time.
All three were trying to work out who might have complained.
I failed to assist when I was asked who I might have upset, the answer 'everybody' was not considered helpful
Classic expressions and expletives when I reminded them of the date just after 11am. Total gems.
I LOVE IT lol
the 'obstacle course' is in fact my new framework with stock fencing attached which are my new pea support frames.
