Cheer up, Paxo
SIR: Having just read Jeremy Paxman's reasons to be gloomy (March issue), regarding the issue of his new driving licence, I would like to ask you please to let him know that my new licence, applied for online on the 7th, arrived by post this morning, the 10th.
Nil desperandum, Jeremy.
Regards, Rod Atkinson-Hill, Edith Weston, Rutland
Get your kit on, Babs…
SIR: I am deeply offended by the cover of the March issue, which features a seminude Barbara Windsor. Could you not have used instead the charming picture of the clothed Miss Windsor laughing delightedly with Jim Dale on page 14?
I am not prudish (although was wrongfully accused of such by readers of my second-favourite organ, Private Eye, when I complained about the smutty nature of cryptic crossword clues that likewise reduce women to sex objects).
You probably won't publish this letter, as you seem interested only in flattering comments from readers.
