Keith Flett

In the age of Twitter, Facebook, blogs, texts and YouTube, why bother to write a letter to the editor? I use all the above formats, but it is only when I have a letter published in a national paper that people stop me to say: ”I saw your letter”. They hardly ever say “I saw your tweet” or “I saw your post on Facebook”.

When I was at school we’d sometimes go back to mine at lunch time and do the crossword in the paper. It must have been near the letters page because that’s how I remember the name of prolific letter writer, Keith Flett. He’s got a point about the letter writing, but it’s only because of Google that I now know he even still exists.
