Dear SAS
   
     
Thankyou for your guide to SAS Travel Services which you kindly and promptly sent to me following my letter of the 30th March.

Since writing to you I happened to see an advertisement for SAS in a magazine, and was more than a little surprised to learn that you employ stewardesses on your aeroplanes. Frankly I didn't realise that the SAS employed females - I thought your force was made up entirely of macho males who look like Martin Shaw. On reflection though I don't suppose there is any reason why you shouldn't employ members of the fairer sex, after all my wife packs a fair punch, especially when she's been at the bottle.

It also causes me some concern that your stewardesses don't wear the normal SAS uniform when on the aeroplane. How then are potential hijackers to know that they are dealing with the SAS, and therefore have second thoughts on hijacking the aeroplane, if they can't recognise you by your SAS uniform? Attractive as your girls look in their uniforms I do think that your normal gear of black sweater, black trousers, hard helmet and riot shield would give your passengers more confidence that the aeroplane isn't suddenly going to be commandeered by some Middle East fanatic.

Incidentally, are your stewardess's uniforms for sale, as I would like one for my wife? I'm trying to get one from Air UK but there is a possibility they might let me down, but yours are almost as attractive and if I end up with two that will mean twice as much fun, won't it.

Finally, and despite the reservations outlined above, I have decided to fly SAS to Australia, first class, the first week in September, returning one month later. I will be taking my wife and six children, aged fifteen months to sixteen years, and I would appreciate it if you could write to me giving the price of the tickets and where I can purchase them.

Yours faithfully

T Ravenscroft (Mr)
