How do you open your letters?

Some people slice along the side of an envelope and slide out the contents, all nice and neat like. Some people use a letter opener along the top. Me, I tear where it’s sealed, usually making a mess of the envelope in the process. I have a letter opener, I just forget to use it.

How do you do it?

I bet Paul steams his letters open with the heat from a cast iron kettle sitting on his woodburning stove.
