As one of the first people to congratulate Bryan Marlowe and Heather Causnett on becoming amateur columnists with the Evening Press, I now write in dismay - almost drowning in the pool of blinding light blazing downwards from their joint pulpit of sanctimony.
Mrs Causnett's first column (about her gem-of-a-husband's cooking) delighted the imagination and lifted the spirits.
Mr Marlowe is, occasionally, interesting.
At last, I rejoiced, we were getting away from the unremitting cant prevalent in their readers' letters. Sadly I was mistaken.
"Fancy having both of them preaching on the same evening," I said, on April 6, pouring a stiff whisky.
