AFTER reading Reverend Bessant's remarks (LET, December 12) I am sure I'm not alone in finding his comments on New Year resolutions patronising, to say the least.

If people wish to make resolutions at this time of year then surely that is their prerogative and if they want to make sacrifices at Lent, too, then so be it.

Perhaps he speaks from his own experiences when talking about perusing the charms of Kylie Minogue on video late at night!

Maybe Reverend Bessant's New Year resolution should be to keep his opinions to himself.
