I’m not a big writer of letters to newspapers – although I have done a few times in the past and I’ve generally been impressed with the way that they have phoned me to check that I am, who I say I am.
I don’t think I’ve ever written to a magazine before and that’s mainly because I hate the nauseating drivel in the letters that are usually published.
“It’s because of your magazine my life is renewed, the sun shines every day and my children are beautiful.”
OK I exaggerate but honestly, anything to get a free frying pan or writing set if you’re the letter of the week/month etc.
