The Rush Hour Crush page in the Metro newspaper every morning often features gems from lovelorn and die-hard romantic commuters.
But one letter in this morning's edition takes things to the next level.
It reads:
To the sexy Spanish senorita on the No.30 bus to Highbury. I loved our heated chat on Friday but realise what I did was insensitive to your country. I'm mortified. Please let me make up for it, over tapas or paella or whatever. Bearded Man Who Used Discarded Burger Cartons As Castanets
Bless him for trying to make amends, but there's every chance the girl will be further offended by his stereotypical dining suggestions.
Twitter user Shocko has since seemingly outed himself as the letter writer.
BuzzFeed News has asked Shocko to keep us informed of any response he might get from the lady in question.
As an extra treat, the letter directly beneath that one was another corker.
It reads:
