SIR – Oh dear! How easy it is to upset the jingoistic ball-kickers.
It appears that, when I fancifully wrote that the new Transport Minister required less-capable drivers to display flags, Chris Russell of Clayton and Carole Hall of Great Horton evidently leapt to the conclusion that this was with some serious intent.
Next time I write with my tongue planted firmly in my cheek, perhaps the Letters Editor should add a helpful comment, “He’s only joking, folks”. C’mon England!
