WHAT a thoroughly selfish, over-hyped and intelligence-lacking letter from L Lawes (LET, May 20).

I can only conclude that (a) Mr Lawes is one of those 50-odd year-olds who want and try to be 20 years old, and (b) he has never been intimidated by these hoodie yobs.

Just a couple of points Mr Lawes:

1) The letters "Bluewater Shopping Centre" do not spell Tony Blair.

2) You cannot suffer from ultra violet rays inside a shopping centre.

3) You say you wear a hat to protect our eyes.

Well after writing this insensitive letter can I suggest you use it to cover your face in future?
