HOW I agree with your correspondent Christopher Clapham on standards. When I went to school, we had to wear green blazers. We were always proud of them. It set a good standard for later in life.

As regards TV presenters without ties, I think it is very disrespectful and looks very untidy. The standard in life has gone down. Litter just thrown down and left in the countryside. Please bring back some standards.

DISRUPTIVE camping more like, wild camping is when you leave nothing behind and leave without a trace. Maybe we should ban the sales of cheap tents and chairs?

CONSIDERING that hairdressers have been closed down since the New Year, I wonder where most people we see on TV are going to keep their hair so well groomed.
