Musak

I REALLY enjoy elevator music.

When I am standing in a lift, I find it almost impossible to keep still as the booming Hammond organ grooves keep me company as I travel from floor to floor. The gentle, funky instrumental tones of elevator muzak always bring a big grin to my face.

Even when I am on the telephone to the bank and awaiting assistance from a telephone operator, I struggle to keep sane as the subtle musical notes echo down the phone. It is no wonder that I feel relaxed and chilled as I await the outcome of my bank statement.

It is only after the call that I usually faint.

Christopher Wardell, Darlington.

Dell my friend, David is right, although you have shared many such insights over the years and i look foward to many more.

Get a life Chris no-one cares about your ramblings and I am getting sick of reading your name in the paper.

Well Mr Dean

You are a nasty piece of work aren't you? What right have you to speak on behalf of all the Echo's readership? You certainly don't have permission to include me in your spiteful little comment. May I suggest that you return to your place of convenience under a large wet stone.

No I'm not nasty - anything but actually! But am sick of reading this man's drivel, when I have sent more "important" letters to the Echo and they haven't been published but this man's ramblings are! I think he should perhaps get a hobby. My comment wasn't spiteful and I apologise if you feel I was including you in my comment. I didn't realise I needed your permission. As for the wet stone jibe, very good......I'm off now to join the "I love writing to the paper because I love seeing my name in print" club. Why dont you tag along?

Mr Dean

As I'm sure you appreciate, the choice of letter printed in HAS is decided by the Editor. My feeling is that he tries to achieve a balance between the serious, the not so serious, local and national politics so on and soforth. By and large I suggest that he gets it right. If he opts not to print your contributions then maybe he's showing admirable judgement because to me you come across as a distasteful person.

You are of course completely correct. Perhaps next time I may write about fudge or something ridiculous, then it may get published. My last letters to the editor were about the CSA and also the Tesco debate. Obviously these issues are too serious...Me, distasteful? I have taste,. What I don't take to is certain people wasting column inches on complete rubbish. Is CW related to the editor by any chance?

I can confirm that Christopher is not related to Mr Baron.
I will relay your feelings to him and am sure he will find them amusing, as i know he has an excellent sense of humour and almost never takes himself serious.
Maybe there is something you can learn from Dell after all Dean.

As for hobbies, Dell's hobby is also his business, he promotes and books ska bands here and all over Europe. Bad Manners, Desmond Decker, Prince Buster, members of The Specials and Selector are some that come mind.

Well, 'Dean'. It appears that you like to use my term 'insane ramblings' quite often. I often use this term when describing the comments of Labour party members in HAS. Derek More (Des), once used it too. Interesting.
