E-Bleets to the Editor Dear E Barb Wire, Having stayed at La Barbarie for the first time last, year (2010), we now receive The E Barb Wire. We understand that we are now officially known as ‘Old Barbarians' which we do think is a really funny joke. However, we cannot understand why a little sheep called Baartholemew (or however you spell it)* should be so popular and as for all the sheep puns, they are hurtful, cruel and certainly do not amuse us. We would be grateful if you could refrain from this puerile nonsense in future or we will be cancelling our subscription. Larry and Barbara Lamb Woolwich. Dear The Barb Wire, I agree with the above letter. A Shearer Shepherd’s Bush. Dear The Barb Wire, And Me.
