WHAT a monumental chip Mr Corns has on his shoulder; what a depressing letter! And he is only in his 40's. What will he be like in his 60's, I ask!

Of course, there are some better off than others, eg, The Queen Mother; there always have been and there always will be, in this country, and every other country.

Mr Corns, live your own life, I do. I am 59, very nearly 60, not particularly well off, with a loving family, and with many interests.

I sincerely hope the Queen Mother reaches her 100th birthday,and I hope you, Mr Corns, do as well. But please, try to be positive, not negative, and, you never know, you might be happy in life!
