Dr Stuttaford's full cellar
SIR: We were amused by Dr Dalrymple's reference (The Doctor's Surgery, November issue) to his predecessor Dr Stuttaford's being a keen advocate of drink in moderation.
We bought his house on Elm Hill in Norwich following his death. The sale included his cellar of claret and port which we are still drinking!
If you come to Norwich, come and enjoy one with us.

Jeffrey Archer vs the truth
SIR: In ‘Dare to be different’ (November issue), Andrew M Brown suggests there was ‘always at least one who affected 1950s Received Pronunciation…’; for those of us who grew up in the ’50s, RP was the way we spoke naturally as we grew up! Nothing affected about it.
And in ‘A time for giving’ (Christmas Gift Guide), Jeffrey Archer suggests that the Cambridge Children's Hospital ‘will be the first children's hospital for the east of England … to treat the whole child, mind and body together’; not so.
