YOUR deputy editor Bill Hearld, of 'North versus South' fame, asks the very trying readers' letters scribe Mike Usherwood: "Do you want to try it?" (meaning, do Bill's doddle of a job).

Which, in my opinion, is most unfair of you Bill. He should learn to walk first before you turn him loose running your office.

You should give Mike his own half-page, weekly feature - something on the lines of Mike Usherwood on Sundays in the non-existent Evening Sunday Press.

I should love to settle down on Sundays to read the national daily boring corres...s... z.... z...
