SIR - It's a pity John Masters' letter (T&A, April 4) wasn't published earlier.

He complains he has never been asked to fill in a crime survey, he could have had the one I binned the other day with pleasure.

Apparently the Assistant Chief Constable is attempting to "join up", whatever that means, services responsible for crime detection, prosecution etc.

The logic behind the questions completely escaped me, although that could be put down to the fact that I've had my three score and ten years.

Should I receive further surveys, I will happily pass them on to Mr Masters.
