Coal

Sir,— “Moody Moo’’ seems to have some difficulty in understanding plain English. At least two correspondents'* complained that they were paying £lO a ton for their coal, though the was not one of them, and I never said she was. By all means let this vexed question of unscreened coal go up to Government levels (or even the United Nations), but why expect somebody else to initiate such a move while so much dormant personal energy remains ungenerated? If “Moody Moo” attacked her coal merchant as purposefully as she has done me he would not only screen his coal forthwith, but himself tod if he is a wise man. At this point I am chivalrously standing down to allow “Moody Moo” the last word (and I have ho doubt she will take full advantage ot my lowered defences) but in case she is planning a final assault on an unguarded masculine citadel it is only fair to tell her that we are, as Kipling might have said, “scsters under our horns.” A couple of fair cows in fact— Yours, etc., L TREW.
