I WONDERED how long it would be until Walt replied, but of course he did. I’d just like to tell Walt I have no intentions of making the ‘Eternal Trio’ into the ‘Famous Four’. Besides, I work full time, albeit I’m a pensioner myself, and certainly don’t have time to troll the scriptures looking for quotes. In my time, having been in both the Army and the Merchant Navy, I’ve spent many an hour writing home telling friends and family about where I was and what went on, so I really do know how to compose a letter and do so when it is required of me.

Maybe it is time the letters editor invited the ‘Eternal Trio’ into the Argus offices, sat them down, let them get on with it and report back to the readers, instead of letting them dominate the Letters page.
