It surely must have come as no surprise to readers of the national press this week when informed by a high-ranking BBC official that the BBC is no longer the bastion of correct English on radio and TV.

If it has ever been your misfortune to accidently tune in to Radio 1 then you know exactly what he means.

Your publication of Monday, November 10, featured on its Letters’ page seven letters in total, all of them, in their own individual way, pointing out the lunacy of those running the country and local Government.

Not a criticism I hasten to add, just an observation.
