Reader's letter

In response to the kind advice from your correspondent S Kendra (Letters, March 18) I tried to improve my Intelligence Quotient by reading a book. But to no avail. My IQ has remained stubbornly fixed at 196.

Do you think I chose the wrong book; Alice In Wonderland?

Perhaps I should join the Rovers Return Philosophical Discussion Group. 'Normal' people who regularly watch Coronation Street will be familiar with the high standard of academic conversation and the brilliant reasoning faculty of all those Lancashire lads and lasses.

As pointed out by your Osbaldwick viewer it "has amplified how we normal people live our lives and helps us find solutions that are staring us in the face".

If that last puerile statement is true, then stop the world, I wanna get off.

Robert Holmes,

Thorganby,

York.
