IT'S no surprise to learn from Chris Titley (April 10) that your editor has a decanter and glass on her desk. I'm of the opinion that these items are not only of the finest quality - purchased at a leading York store - but also contain spring water.

The editor cannot run the risk of dehydration when dealing with those raffish rogues who write Bar Talk in Saturday's tabloid edition of the Evening Press.
