Dear Sir, I object strongly to the letters on your program. They are clearly not written by the general public and are merely included for a cheap laugh. Yours sincerely etc., William Knickers.

Dear Freddy Grisewood, Bagshot, Surrey.

As a prolific letter-writer, I feel I must protest about the previous letter. I am nearly sixty and am quite mad, but I do enjoy listening to the BBC Home Service. If this continues to go on unabated …Dunkirk… dark days of the war… backs to the wall… Alvar Liddell … Berlin air lift … moral upheaval of Profumo case … young hippies roaming the streets, raping, looting and killing.

Yours etc., Brigadier Arthur Gormanstrop (Mrs.).

Oh, no, don’t be sorry. You see, I don’t believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that’s been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians.
