I'm happy to do one from Pembrokeshire

FairlyIncognito · 05/12/2022 20:34

Have there been funny reactions ?
i once did my own welcome letter to a friend who moved house from mystery neighbours (Jazzi and Spike) and I had so much fun. They told her that traditionally a meeting was held in her garden but not to worry as they would bring the canapés. she hid it from her DH as thought he’d be so worked up .

I wish I could see people's reactions to getting these? Do you come clean or let them wonder forever?

arthurfonzerelli · 05/12/2022 21:02

I've just googled to find out what this is and found an explanation from a MN thread from 2014.....love it Grin

I have done a J&R sent to my parents since 2014. They were the only ones I sent it to though as I knew they would twig and find it funny. We all kept it a major secret until last year when I was exhausted and ground down with life and said to them 'Sorry, no more Janet and Roys. I have lost inspo'. They screamed with laughter. They have saved them and had shared them around. But they knew it was me from almost the get go. They had about 2 years when my father was sure it was a couple my mother had started chatting to while on one of their many crusies. I think once they got the missive that inlouded pampas grass, swinging and an Italian playboy they realised who the culprit was. It was tremendous fun while it lasted.

Cococomelon · 05/12/2022 21:07

I have never done one but would do one!

Thinkwicebeforeyouleavemylife · 05/12/2022 21:10

Please someone explain what it is! Sounds fun

TheChosenTwo · 05/12/2022 21:23

Beloved CatThiefKeith did my mums one years ago, I cried with laughter at my mum who found it hilarious that someone knew her so well when she couldn’t remember them one bit! I never ever told her the truth either 😂

Lysianthus · 05/12/2022 21:33

I'll do one from Brighton 'n' Hove...

Spidey66 · 05/12/2022 21:37

What is it?

sleighedd · 05/12/2022 22:09

@Spidey66 a Christmas card written by Janet and roy. You give your writer info about the recipient and they write a round robin type letter including those details eg; recent grand child and had the drive done.

Dear xx, we were so so happy to hear your son xx had a baby this year with y we're in the area because Roy is having his annual colonoscopy, isn't that fantastic timing!! Can't wait to see you all , don't worry about putting us up with Roy's redundancy money we bought a magnificent winnebago and we'll just park it on your drive! We saw it had been done recently, what a fantastic way to christen it!

Looking forward to seeing you all (please get the nice loo roll in for Roy and his colonoscopy prep)

Janet and Roy.

What do you have to do? 🤣

MrsMoastyToasty · 06/12/2022 00:33

I've got a couple of ideas.

Roy's showdown with Alan from the Rotary Club.
Son David now being known as Dawn.

crisisofconfidence · 06/12/2022 00:34

Omg brilliant. I had forgotten

KloppsTeeth · 06/12/2022 01:25

I’m happy to send one from Staffordshire.

I love a good Janet and Roy.

Piemam · 06/12/2022 02:13

Just remembered about this the other day! Growing up, I actually had neighbours called Janet and Roy... I probably wouldn't twig!

wewishyouamerrychristmas · 06/12/2022 09:34

Sorry I didn't come back to my OP but I'm definitely up for it. I can send one from Edinburgh.

If anyone can link the 2014 thread mentioned above that will fill you in on what to do.
