REGARDING Chorley councillor Mark Perks who was bitten by a dog on the other side as he pushed a copy of his newsletter through a house letterbox (LET, June 21), clearly he never found it necessary as a child to do a paper round.

Had he have done so, he would have learnt that no matter what it says on the door, you never ever put your fingers through a strange letterbox.
