I DON'T want to be pedantic, but your story (LET, September 10) on the girl falling from a horsebox on the M62 was inaccurate.

Having grown up in Lancashire but now living in Yorkshire, I must take you to task - I wasn't aware I live in a county that no longer exists.

Goole, for your information, is in East Yorkshire, not Humberside. And, believe it or not, we residents are 'Goolies.'
