'Unpublished Letters to The Daily Telegraph', readers of the Letters Page will be fondly aware of the eclectic combination of learned wisdom, wistful nostalgia and robust good sense of humour that characterises its correspondence. Whether it's suggesting the sci-fi Vulcan salute as an alternative to the now-discouraged handshake, or a parable of political dysfunction drawn from shopping in Ikea, Bob Pringle from Shrewsbury writes about the subject of the nude and that Anthony Whishaw on his 90th birthday notes that he tends to work from imagination, not looking at flesh and blood as the artist works. 'Sadly, speaking as another born in the Thirties, I fell that's the case for a lot of us.' Mike Lloyd of Cheltenham writes 'SIR - if members of the eco-protest group Extinction Rebellion would like to make themselves useful, perhaps they could come and teach my young adult children how to recycle.' The impact of self-isolation, lockdown and coronavirus is particularly notable in the Family Trials and Tribulations section. Then there is A Year In Politics with Corbyn, Brexit, Megxit, VAR to Mar, Trump to Top Gear - no one escapes the hilariously whimsical and sometimes risqué musings. So long, and thanks for all the fish writes one reader about access to 'our fishing waters after Brexit.' 181pp to dip into time and again.
