MY! - what a dedicated follower of fashion John Blunt is, as his comments on Cherie Blair's pendant (LET, July 22) make clear.

Actually, although Cherie is a Queen's Counsel - and, who knows, perhaps a judge sooner or later - she does come from parents who were 'Luvvies for Labour' and their fashion accessories are as theatrical as it's possible to get.

As for Blunt's sarcastic comments concerning parking charges of £150 a year, it's just a shame that no-one will be able to find a vacant lot in that accessory he calls a brain.

And if someone did, the charge for 10 minutes in that empty void would exceed any cheap remarks he appears to find humorous.
