Mrs Stuart is 76. She told me she had never written a letter to a newspaper, didn't buy the Observer and was shocked someone had misused her name. She said no other Stuart had lived on Whalley Rd in years, and only one or two lived in Clayton. She thanked me for letting her know.

She would never write about Wheelie Bins and her garden waste because she has a small flagged back yard on Whalley Road and had no need. She said I should raise the matter on her behalf.

I understand the Ob rang, realised they had been duped and offered an apology this week.

Two more letters are under scrutiny. People who deceive others ought to know I will persue these matters in the cause of a great british tradition, fair play and honesty.
Completely condemn such actions if true and I'm sure the local parties will regardless of their political leaning. I hope the Observer find out who sent them.

I must admit get sick of all the political wrangling but thats the nature of the beast, but should be sorted out and the truth be told (for once).

Will be sitting here in anticipation.

Damn.

Normally go for an Obsever on Thursday but forgot, will have to wait until tomorrow.

Don't know anything about it, but do know I hate people that cheat, be it at Snakes and Ladders, or like this, something more serious.:(

Just read the apology in the Observer and now anybody writing be it by letter or via e-mail must leave a daytime contact number. Not only are these letter writers acting fraudulently by using somebody elses name but other honest letter writers will have to be scruntinised. Whoever wrote the bogus letters should be ashamed, it is disgusting!!!

Poor you.:o

My mummy loved me, and my copy was sent first class post when I was at college, so I never missed a thing.:)

Now all we have to do is find someone who loves you enough to do the same.:D

You could be right, sorry was just trying to help:(Why don't you get onto the Observer and see if they can't let all the paper be seen on-line?
