I WAS delighted to see in your paper that the lovely Iris Andersen is now Mayor of Test Valley.

I became acquainted with her a few years back when she first retired and would help out at charity fundraising days in Marks and Spencer.

So frequently does Iris feature that a friend of mine calls your paper the “Andersen Advertiser” and every week we tot up how many times she is pictured. A recent edition was especially rich pickings with two photographs by the time we’d got to page 8 and, now she’s Mayor, the game should get even better.

I think you should have a commemorative edition with “Andersen Advertiser” as the masthead and a competition “Where’s Iris?” where the readers have to spot her on every page.

Congratulations on your appointment, Iris. Hope you have a great year.
