The Times: Brief Letters To The Editor

A selection of the wit and wisdom of 'The Times' letters page from recent years, from discussions on Murphy's Law (the law governing the dropping of buttered toast) and the best method of making porridge, to the great issues of the day, such as the war in Afghanistan and the Euro debate.

Not sightings of first cuckoos and maunderings of retired civil servants, but pithy, funny and sometimes startling observations on topics from natural history to politics, and from sport and the arts to crime and punishment. With an introduction by 'The Times' editor Robert Thomson, and illustrated with cartoons by Neil Bennett.
