MISS York and District (“No missing our winner”, The Press, June 14) is plucky negotiating the bar walls in high heels while pulling along her luggage en route for Torquay.
It’s a long walk, especially with such handicaps, so I hope she’s being well sponsored. Anyway, good luck to her.
One is reminded of a particular spectacle to which one is occasionally treated in this part of York when similarly shod racegoers assay a teetering crossing of Knavesmire with the going “soft to sinking”.
Sorry, I’m not trying to put the boot in!
Derek Reed, Middlethorpe Drive, York.
