Letters to the Editor

I'm a keen reader of the letters page whether it be local or national. For years I read Private Eye. If you like such stuff the Henry Root books are worth  a go. Henry used to send highly entertaining "piddle take" letters to the great and the good with a crisp twenty pound note attached. The books are his highly entertaining letters with the reply from whoever usually someone in the public eye. Some realised the letters for what they were others were hooked, line and sinkered.

As someone pointed out in the comments the other day letters pages all end up for recycling. I've previously copied a Gareth Williams letter from the Chronicle. Here's another from a favourite local writer of mine Brian Christley who also gets letters posted nationally in such papers as the Telegraph. Wind turbine fans might need to look away now. Any writer who takes offence at letters copied can have them removed if they send me a bonafide email.
