Oh Elegran that is a fantastic find!
Those were the days when consumers reigned supreme.
Now we are just sheep who must fit into marketing trends.

Letter to the Times during the years of the First World War:-
Reduced Railway Rates
Sir, - Why should a lowering of railway rates be referred to as a 'concession'? Railway companies are traders who sell transport, and they reduce prices if they think it will benefit trade. They should not be encouraged to pose as kings bestowing bonus on their subjects.
Mr Albert Lieck, 18, Blenhein Road, St Albans.
Sir,. Brief letters to the Times (1914-1985) Scott Learmonth
