CORRESPONDENT Mary Lewis said that I was “egotistical” and an “idiotic fool” (HAS, May 8). I suppose I can be quite foolish at times, but I certainly do not have an ego problem. I am quite a modest chap and have nothing to boast about, apart from my two wonderful kids.
Her letter did make me smile when she suggested that the men in white coats should come and take me away. That has been mentioned many times before by humourless, fuddy-duddies.
Your correspondent’s outburst did make me slightly angry due to its personal nature, but I soon got over it by dancing to Let’s Get Physical by Olivia Newton-John in my bedroom all afternoon, while donning a headband and a zebra leotard.
Dancing, they say, makes you smile. Give it a whirl sometime, Mary.
Christopher Wardell, Darlington.
