Welcome
There were many who welcomed Mr. Tinsley and his paramour when they bought Stoney Grove, but wiser heads waited and now we see the truth. Our great heritage is to be prostituted in the name of crass commercialism. Are we to be even safe in our homes with foreign tourists driving willy-nilly through our lanes, even as ferocious lions stalk our fields? Rue the day that Tinsley came with his American lover.

Delighted
Whilst delighted to see the re-emergence of Puckering’s local newspaper I am appalled by the content. Are the rags that pass for newspapers in London now to dilute the pastoral peace of Puckering? Are we to be faced with blaring headlines, sexual innuendo and poor attempts at humour on every page?

Show More Respect
I must protest the tone of the article concerning the new position of Village Elder. This is a very responsible position that anyone should be proud to consider. It may be akin, in its own small way, to the position of London's new Mayor. In these times of change and uncertainty, there are a variety of issues facing village life. We hope for growth, but worry how it may change us. We want new blood in the village, but wonder how outsiders will contribute to village life. We want more visitors, but worry about how we will manage the traffic. I would expect our only local newspaper to show more respect.

[Editor - We will run profiles of all proposed candidates over the next few months as the election draws near and thus the letters page will not have to be polluted by their blatherings!]

How Long?
In the spirit of political correctness how long must Puckering suffer the indignity of the Village Idiot? The strange fellow on the sign is clearly throttling a poor defenseless snake. Is this the image we want to portray to our young people? Is it okay to strangle snakes? I will campaign most vigorously to change this pub's anti-animal message.
