I HAD to write regarding your article on June 1 regarding your comments about charity shops.

You obviously haven't been to the charity shop located on campus. If you had, you certainly would not look like a tramp. We run a very trendy shop which caters for every need of the students. So take time to have a look, I dare you, and if you can spare any pots, pans, cups, books, in fact anything to help our young set up their flats we would appreciate it and you would be helping a local charity to do more good for local people.

St. Johns Hospice do a wonderful job. Any publicity you can give we would appreciate.
