PETER Taylor is right to unleash his vitriolic attack on the Press (Letters, May 9) after publishing such a clearly reckless comment as "an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but in my experience so does an air rifle in the top bedroom window".
I too feel sure the county will now be overrun by previously law-abiding citizens brandishing firearms and taking pot shots at anybody wearing a stethoscope.
By Mr Taylor's reckoning this paper clearly underestimates its powers of persuasion.
Maybe tomorrow's headline should read "Pay £10 for your copy of today's Press!" or "People with the name Peter Taylor who waste time writing ridiculous letters to the local paper should jump off a bridge!" Just a thought.
