WHAT a wonderful, heartwarming letter from Mrs S Huddleston (LET, March 11) praising her retiring boss John Thomas.

At a time when "dog eat dog" and "I'm all right Jack" are sadly very much the "attitudes" of the day, it was a total pleasure to find a person who thinks enough of another person to take up a pen and write the lovely things Mrs Huddleston had to say about Mr Thomas.

Sadly I don't know either of these two people personally, but Mr Thomas has some lovely friends.
