I AGREE 100 per cent with Heather Causnett’s letter of December 17 about the loss of pleasant news these days.

I won’t even listen to the TV news before bed time. I don’t want to be thinking about abused children or murders while trying to get to sleep.

It would be lovely, if, after every news report we could have ten minutes of nothing but good news, and there is good news to be found. Maybe newspapers could have a regular page head “Nothing but good news.”
