SIR - Although, like many of the best stories, this may be apocryphal, it was said that the Protestant Henry of Navarre, when given the chance to become King of France, on the condition that he became a Catholic, said Paris is worth a Mass' and took the job.

Wouldn't it be lovely if His Holiness, during his talk with Tony Blair, had observed Is Baghdad worth a mess?' although of course we'll never really know what was discussed.

Do any of your readers know if there's a Saint Cherie?
