Dear Sir

Had to chuckle the other day. I love the letters page in the Metro (the free newspaper for commuters in major UK cities), and often write a crafty letter in just to get people's backs up - and that is something that's very easy to do on letters pages.

Contributions over the last week had people in a rage about the pronunciation of the letter 'h' (it's 'aitch', not 'haitch' in case you are one of the offenders). As amusing as I found all this, the best letter towards the end of the week went along the lines of:

"With response to all these people writing in about the pronunciation of the leter 'h' - have you all got nothing better to do than write in to the Metro about such pointless things?"

Oh, the irony.
