You can't have a legally binding contract without being certain it
has been read. Which would normally need a signature. And maybe even
a witness.

Oh yes you can.

In English law a contract can be formed by just saying in "yes".

"Dave, are you free to do Everton on Saturday?"
"Yes"

Contract is formed...

Actually, that's not a contract at all. There's no offer. There's no
acceptance of any offer. And there's no consideration.

And you need all of those.

There is no consideration in Dave's case either.

There is, actually.

Like hell there is.

It's been well established.

Like hell it has.

You can fall over now you have blown both feet right off.

I appear to be standing on them still quite firmly.

Then you need new glasses, BAD.
