OMG lost as to what to do

[Cynthiathequeen]

Name changed. 20odd year old DC has just hosted a pre party at ours. After their v noisy departure went into the room they had been in to check for forgotten candles etc. Found a hand written note on headed note paper from one of this country's most august body's. It is an addendum note and asks the recipient to send the note writer their "term time address" plus more, but never stepping over a line.
I have no idea of sender or recipient, but they all went to a school which arranges many work placements in said body.my DC has been one of them. A number of the school alumni have ended up working there as a career
All individuals are 21 plus but I am at a loss. Unhappy the note could be pressure on someone not yet properly mature. i accept I probably cannot intervene, don't think it is my own DC, so just your thoughts please?

I was thinking MI5 or Houses of Parliament for august body! But really who knows. And if everyone os over twenty what is the problem??

If their all over 21 why would they have a term time address? Add me to the confused list.

So toured concerned about a 20 odd year old communicating with another adult?

Gosh I must have a poor view of the HoP. " " August" doesn't spring to mind 😄

*you're not toured

Oh. An August Body!!!!! Yep. My sister is a Leo and a wonderful woman. There. I've sorted that

Tarty yes. Everyone sorry for being so oblique. Just trying not to out anyone. Thank you for your replies.

What exactly are you asking OP?

Maybe your dc is trying to hire a good translator? He needs one...

OMG...

Yep, not a clue why this would concern you.

This isn't one of those threads that's really a book/play/film is it?

I fucking HATE impromptu parlour games

Isnt the "mutual friend" just that? I think it is unlikely to be a reference to Dickens! and is what we used to call our dealer

Strikeout fail!

This reminds me of the lotto ad. Nicer problems to have.

I'm glad you said that teapot. I was deepening my frown lines trying to catch the hidden message

Genuine thread. Sorry I haven't been able to get the story over but thank you for your replies. My concern is about " letters being the most discrete form of communication".
Will go away to ponder why seeing it has disturrebed me so much. Just a gut feeling I guess.

Or.....The Palace?
It could be that the sender, whoever s/he is, may be of a similar-ish age, or at least within an appropriate age range, to the recipient (who may still be at Uni, hence term time address request?). Just one possible scenario.

Well isn't the likely explanation an affair?

Yawn. If you're not going to name the MP, go home.

Ok, so, for example if this was a famed ballet, this is the equivalent of finding a note from an unnamed bigwig there asking for the alternative address, "plus a picture of your stiffest tutu" etc?

Am i warm?

Last message. Never knew about our mutual friend having that meaning. I could well have been massively misinterpreting this. Thank you all

Is it really spelled 'discrete'?
That's not the same as 'discreet.'
I would expect someone who writes letters on notepaper 'from one of the country's most august bodies' to know the difference.

Letters are the most discreet if you dont have access to digital communication. Or are a hipster.

Well spotted Tarty.
