OF course, F K Bush (You Say, March 31), I am very grateful for my benefit, which is why I live simply, and give a third of my income to charitable causes. Does Mr Bush give a third of his income to charity?

However, cars are destroying the earth's atmosphere for future generations - if this doesn't concern Mr Bush, it ought to.

As to the dig about spending money on stamps - I buy three second-class stamps a week - 57p - for my Evening News letters. I suppose I could buy half a pint of beer instead.
