Letters to the Editor

Good reason if needed for taking the paper version of the Daily Telegraph as well as  checking out the abbreviated online version: the letters section.

Two delightful offerings in the Jan 27 edition.

Andrew Baxter writes from Banbury, Oxon, with a fool-proof method of identifying the class of people - by using the car test:

"A couple taking another couple for a drive would seat themselves thus

Working class, men in front.

Middle class, man with his own partner in the front

Upper class, man with other partner in the front."

Spot on absolutely right. Now I'm wondering how it would go in the US?

Letter 2 from Tim Sugg of Hope Valley, Derbyshire:

"At traffic lights in Bradford, a large van drew alongside. The sign on the side read 'Khan & Khan Builders.'

Underneath was the slogan: "You've tried the cowboys - now try the Indians."
