At 104 years of age, Mrs Elsie Drake of Granville Gardens, London, is the sixth oldest woman in Britain. But fed up with sitting in her armchair all day, Elsie is ready for new adventures. And so, armed with a computer she can barely operate, she fires off dozens of letters to everyone from the Prime Minister to Greggs Bakeries, to see if they can help. Whether offering her services as the new Arsenal football mascot dressed as a giant hare, or simply sending Sainsbury’s a load of meat, no one can escape the clutches of Elsie Drake. Gloriously funny and ridiculously silly, ‘The Elsie Drake Letters’ is also a testament to the wonderful kindness and good humour of the British public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
