I HAVE been reading the letters of Burgess, Pinney et al over a very long time and have come to the conclusion that there is something very Freudian going on. The way in which they never miss an opportunity to pour out vitriolic comments about Anita Knittel
I AGREE with George Cowley, Nature is cruel and yes, the fox is a predator. But, not having been endowed with the powers of reasoning and compassion, it does not know any better and will get food wherever it can. However, Mankind has been endowed with

APPARENT euphoria among the Worcester sporting public for the City FC's proposed move from St George's Lane to a new purpose-built football stadium is not shared, at least for one, by Mrs Mary Saunders. The trouble is that the St George's Lane ground
