Just as well as the big bore in the local rag did not read this. He writes long letters most weeks about cycling and why we should all do it and not use our cars unless we have to. Yes, he does repeat himself constantly week after week with few new sentances. But for a while it was on the subject of stuttering that caused the avalanche on newsprint. He is a stutterer and has wrtitten "many times" to the BBC about the stuttering in "Open All Hours". And he took umbrage with the letter writers who dared to disagree with him.
