SIR: As a regular reader of BEN, I feel disgusted to think you could print such an article in your paper, concerning Mr John Patel of Tonge Fold Post Office. He is very helpful and well mannered. For you to take a statement from one pensionerwho was out of order in the first place, I will never understand.
I feel an apology should be given to Mr John Patel, for the character you gave him in your article. Your billboard should have read: Pensioners Boycott BEN, not as you printed Pensioner Boycotts Post Office.
A disgusted pensioner.
Mrs J Abbott
