I JUST want to say ‘thank you’ to all at ‘Echo Letters’.

I have been a long reader and subscriber since 1980.

I believe my first letter to you (which was published), concerned the outrage over the film ‘Life of Brian’.

I wrote to celebrate it and it is still a most favourite comedy film today.

During those early days, technology was not as it is now.

I had to write to you handwritten and post it in my local mailbox.

I covered all issues, including Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands War.

My main choice of topic was to incur ‘feedback’, as I feel sure ‘Letters’ also enjoys, even today.

I moved through the years from handwritten letters to faxes and emails and now we have a ‘Letters Echo’ web-page in which you not only put up comments like mine that you also print in your daily paper – but you also allow others so inclined to comment on.

I just want to take this time out to thank you Bournemouth Echo for giving us a service in which many of us really enjoy.
