SIR – On Monday, April 1, I read that Bradford Council’s chief executive (town clerk) receives a salary considerably higher than that paid to the Prime Minister, the latter of whom runs the whole country.
Initially aghast at this outrageous imbalance of responsibility and reward, I then checked the date and realised it was April Fools’ Day.
Phew, you nearly caught me there with that jolly jape – but even Bradford Council couldn’t be so foolish, or could it ?
