Well, seeing as it's V********* Day and I have nothing better to do... Rolling Eyes

The Gornetz Platz Echo Lonely Hearts column (what's that in German?)

Doctor, 50s, first wife eaten by yeti, seeks calm, quiet helpmeet for peaceful life. No school ties.

F, youthful 50s, blue/grey/brown eyes (never needed glasses), wltm ex-WWI officer for friendship, possibly more.

Doctor seeks unattached schoolmistress for rescue and/or post-accident comfort. Own boat, rope and dog.

Ex-headmistress, well-educated, seeking Latin lover for strict discipline and early bed.

feel free to add...

Hilda
Phil Graves
Miss Bubb!

Great stuff, Beth!

Beth! That's wonderful - *giggling madly*

So if first one is Jack - what happened to Joey?

And the mind boggles at the type of replies Miss Bubb will get Shocked Shocked Shocked

Here goes: -

F, 18yrs. Chesnut hair, violet eyes, seeking man close to own age, not a doctor, must not be called Reg!

F, 50's brown curly hair, brown eyes. Seeking a man who will allow me to have my own opinions.

Well, she had to have an interesting kind of death (although the yeti fate is fairly mild compared to certain drabbles)! Not sure of the details, though...
And Laughing at Len's ad, Lesley!

Wonders which kind of Latin lover will answer Miss Bubb's. Not to mention how the rest of the ad will be construed Shocked .

I can't work out who the second female is? Am I just being REALLY dim?

Hmm... a 50ish woman whose husband perhaps doesn't let her have her own opinion... Madge?

 

#15:  Author: pim, Location: the place where public transport doesn't work properly! PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 12:04 am

*feels glad that she is not the only one confuzzled by it*

 

#16:  Author: Lesley, Location: Rochester, Kent PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 12:12 am

Yes it was Madge!

Here's some more.

F, 50's Grey eyes, far more youthful than I look. need someone with love of science and the outdoors. helpful if can cope with leg injuries.

F, 60's Searching for someone that wants looking after, will treat with kid gloves and do everything for them. Must be neat in appearance.

Hilary Burn/Graves?

 

#21:  Author: pim, Location: the place where public transport doesn't work properly! PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 7:17 pm

I was thinking Peggy Burnett but then why would she have her own tennis court? *gives up*

 

#22:  Author: KB, Location: Melbourne, Australia PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 7:29 pm

Depending on the era, maybe Katharine Gordon?

 

#23:  Author: BethC, Location: Worcester, UK PostPosted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 8:23 pm

I thought Katharine Gordon, too.

How about:
Bubbly modern girl wltm similar lad for larks.

and a group one from the column's editor:
Dozens of well-brought-up girls available: attractive proposition although may not be sure of name, age or relationships.
