    slaird46.,I'm just leaving but since you addressed me......

    I assume you're related to the Scottish aristocracy as, perhaps, the Laird of Argyle. I've a wickedly active imagination and wonder if you wear those Argyll socks. No matter but you do know, I'm sure, that your "dear" is patronising as, since you know nothing important about me, I could not be "dear" to you. My tastes are eclectic and, despite all the persiflage, what you're in favour of is censorship. I'm perfectly happy to read letters which express views with which I strongly disagree. The demotic voice is important, even if it's strident and a bit off-the-wall. You seem to regard yourself as a "progressive". Well, good for you! I'm off now. The grouse-shooting started in Scotland on l2th August ("the glorious l2th" as their lairships called it) but my brave heart needs some rest, acushla. Please don't bother me again because you're not even funny - if you were it would make a difference.
