Sir - Thank you for publishing my letter championing British WWI hero Tommy Atkins over American comic hero Spider-Man keeping guard outside Gheluvelt Park (EN May 28th).

May I now ask that you allow me to respond to BarneyBeagle who - having read said letter on your website (most apt) - is seemingly concerned that my "main concern in life is a person in a coloured costume". It isn't! My main concern is looking after my husband, live-in aged mother and house and garden while keeping tabs on the children and grandchildren etc etc etc and oh yes, running my own business, single handedly, six days a week (sometimes seven) - even though I am an OAP!

In fact, I am so busy that I really don't know how I have time to sit and write this letter. What I do know is that I try to take an interest in what is going on around me, have a sense of humour and like most women - multitask!
