Whilst I appreciate the stress that modern living is having upon many people within our society, I was unaware of the impact upon inanimate objects.

I note in the News in Brief on page 3 of last week's Wiltshire Times that we have a farm shed in Lanhill experiencing insecurity.

I wonder if this is the result of the theft of a grinder, or perhaps as a direct consequence of the pressures faced by our farming community in recent years.

Please convey my best wishes and hope for a speedy recovery.

I recently read an article about the tendency for graduates to ignore the correct use of the English language.

I can only assume that reporting or editorial staff fall into the same category.
