There is always an exception to the rule.

The first thing I do each morning after buying the Echo is to turn to the letters page, to see what infuriating rubbish your constant correspondent Mr Readman has written. However, his letter (August 4) regarding the Argos catalogue and other publications is spot on and I have to admit that I have to agree with him, for once.

In the past, letters Mr Readman has shown a keen support for bumbling Boris our Prime Minister. No doubt Mr Readman will have an opinion on the elevation of 30+ ragtag individuals to the House of Lords. I think we should be told.
