After the hatchet job Turpin did on Selby scribe Steve Davenport (October 24), I was so sorry for Steve I was almost prepared to forgive him for his insulting Famous Five send-up, and the hurtful things he wrote about dear old Peter Mullen.
But the way he rounded on Dick in his over-stretched diatribe (October 31) - a Hallowe'en treat - made me think that Turpin was the victim after all.
This makes me realise just how thick-skinned columnists have to be to repel the barbed shafts aimed at them by all and sundry.
