Letters from Our Readers

This is your public platform. If you have anything to say, here's your chance. For every letter published, we pay 10s. 6d. (available for military service).

ROLE MODELS
The constant stream of pin-ups from your magazine is in poor taste. The two most fascinating women I ever met could have been stand-ins for Laurel and Hardy! Women are more than statistics, thank goodness. That said, there are situations where the last thing you need is a good laugh. — K.M., Hatfield, Herts.

MY SON, THE SOLDIER
As a soldier, I was saddened when home on leave to attend the funeral of an army friend. His parents were obstinately proud, and his father was heard to say to the open casket: "When are you going back?" — M. Barnstaple, Surrey.

REEL FANS
As a subscriber of Social Media Hits, I naturally read your reel summaries. That is, I read them naturally. I tried reading them unnaturally: underwater, upside-down, while flatulating the national anthem, but this wouldn't

do. The bath salts stung my eyes. Although not a keen Instant Karma fan, my appetite was whetted by your precis of "Angry Baby Dropped 80ft to Its Death". Many thanks for not letting my wife and I miss an excellent reel. — J.L., London, W3.

BRAVO
What a delightful thought by the Government, allowing the sale of stamps in brothels. The hubby will have a perfectly legitimate excuse for his weekly excursion. "Just popping out for a stamp, dear!" — S.J., Plymouth.
