SIR - I had to smile at the reference in the leader article (T&A, June 27) to smoking "even on the top of Ingleborough".

Was it perchance penned by Mike Priestley?

The reason I ask is because I vividly remember his referring in one of his walking pieces, many moons ago, to people polluting the fresh air by doing just that!"

Mind you they do say that there's no one as fervent as a convert!
