How to choose a new school
IN response to Jayne Dowle’s brilliant article (Yorkshire Post, September 24), I would like to offer the following advice about choosing schools.
Visit as many schools as possible, look around, listen to the pupils and teachers talking, and then choose a school which is multi-ethnic and where everybody – or nearly everybody – speaks standard English.

And on a similar theme, will all journalists and reporters please stop using “almost exactly”.
Surely, that is an impossibility.
What is a nurse trained to do?

MY blood pressure has just gone up again. I presume Ruth Pickles is a nurse, or how else would she write such an appallingly unsympathetic letter (Yorkshire Post, September 24).

I have just had the misfortune to be in hospital for a week, after a major operation. No help with anything. I was lucky to be given my pills.
One day they lost my patient notes, so I had no medication that day at all.
Thank you Jayne Dowle for an excellent article.
