HOW I disagree with Mary Lewis over her verbal abuse of Christopher Wardell (HAS, May 8). Does she not realise he regularly corresponds in a very light-hearted way? Also, I am sure he has no illusions of being an expert on many of the subjects he writes about.

I have met the chap only a couple of times and find him excellent company with lots of humorous opinions on many topics. In fact, I would love an audience full of CWs when I do my Stand Up Comedy Show.

Perhaps some correspondents would be more at home with a cup of cocoa and sporting their tartan zip-up slippers than out enjoying the lighter side of life.
