SIR - Recently three readers' letters have asked if we have got their writers' drift.
Only one of them, in my opinion, had one worth getting, and that was Paul Marshall's about having to smoke outside.
His unsympathetic critic, David Knowles (T&A, April 2), did not get the perfectly-sound drift of the stupidity of forcing smokers to inhale fumes even more toxic than cigarette smoke outside pubs.
So if he couldn't get Paul Marshall's why should his drift be worthy of the getting?
Likewise, John Hall's drift (T&A, April 3) is not worthy of consideration on running scared' of the EU.
He conveniently omits to mention that 95 per cent of the Lisbon Treaty can very rapidly take on the missing five per cent of the Constitution since it is self-amending and the fuse can be added, rendering his allegorical 95-per-cent-harmless 1000lb bomb extremely dangerous indeed.
