ALLOW me to correct a spelling in one of the letters "Hidden Costs" (March 22). It is Lucinda Lambton not Lampton.
Her father was Lord Lambton, a member of parliament. They lived at Lambton Castle, then at Biddick Hall, Burnmoor, near Chester-le-Street, County Durham. It is the family the song The Lambton Worm is about.
I was born in a pit village called New Lambton, my father working down Lambton D Pit - which belonged to the family before nationalisation of the mining industry.
