IN answer to K Best's letter (Citizen, Feb 4), it is not a case of being unable to afford a few cards, even charity cards need a stamp.
I used to post 100 cards (postage £25), but how many pensioners can afford to send out this amount and give to charity?
I care for my 84-year-old husband and as we have no other relatives in the area, we very rarely have visitors - except for the nurse.
I'm sure many elderly people would prefer a visit, phone call or letter, instead of a card.
Name and address supplied,
