REGARDING the speed gun ‘Nazi’ story.

I just had to let you know how dismayed my sister Ethel and I were at the poisonous article in the Mail regarding poor Mr Widen who, for your information, is Swedish and not German.

Both Ethel and I dream of being flashed by Michael who we see as Scandinavia’s answer to Omar Shariff, and have spent hours caning the old Mini Metro up and down the valley in the hope of popping up on his radar.

Unfortunately the wheezy old thing (the car, not Ethel) has a top speed of 28mph downhill with a prevailing wind so that little avenue of pleasure has been denied us, more’s the pity.
