COULD you please enlighten me as to whether the weekly Helen Mead column is written by a single person or a team?

Why do I ask? Because I find it hard to believe that a single person can be so right all the time. This column is such a tonic: it makes me laugh and nod in agreement in equal measure.

Well done, Helen (or whoever!), keep the good sense rolling off your pen (or computer).
