I must commend you for publishing such an enthusiastic correspondent, such as Mr Ernest Izett.

He's shown his versatility by commenting on subjects as diverse as theology and cricket, parental discipline, dangerous dogs and horse racing.

When will his cornucopia of knowledge empty?

Thank you for allowing two verbose geriatrics like him and myself a few ‘last hurrahs' before 'the final trump'.
