IN reply to the letter by Trevor Watt, it surprises me that they are able to get through a shop door with their exaggerated sense of their own importance!

The need to "count coppers" is not new - so will this person button his/her lip, and try to be more constructive.

He is speaking about the backbone of this country, and even though it is stooped a little, it is upright!

I would invite them to spend a few moments at a war memorial this year to revise their opinion!
