SIR: I feel that the single brain cell that is normally allocated to pop groups was not available on the day that Brian Harvey of the East 17 group said that it was quite safe to use the drug tablet, ecstasy.

I feel that this statement should be taken with the same serious interest that a politician's promise would be.
