ONCE again, the Sacriston-based comedy legend Dave Cook writes to complain about me (HAS, June 20).

Does this man know how to smile or, indeed, have nothing better to do than complain all the time?

In his latest yawn-inducing outburst he claims that I am “depressingly unfunny” and vows never to reply to any of my letters again. Hallelujah!

While I am no stand-up comedian, I do enjoy a laugh and know how to smile and, judging by his occasional letters, Mr Cook simply prefers to moan, moan, moan.

I know that there’s not much to do in Sacriston, no disrespect to any of the other villagers, as I love County Durham, but surely there must be something there that could inspire Mr Cook to have a chuckle?
