SIR – I would just like to put forward a few facts in replying to Mary Moorhouse’s letter, ‘Miners not badly off’ (T&A, April 24).

If there were miners on her flight to Benidorm they will have been from Nottingham, who never came out in 1984-1985. Why wait nearly 30 years to slag miners who gave her a super time? She must be a Maggie fan.
