I CAN echo the sentiments of Marilyn Johnston from Maryland (Letters, September 9) who recently discovered the Lancashire Evening Telegraph on the World Wide Web.

Living in Canada, it is nice to be able to read local news from back home.

You have done an excellent job in going on-line, not just with your newspaper, but also the Burnley Citizen and several other local papers.

I've found it very beneficial to be able to see what events are occurring locally prior to any of my visits back home and it is really great to be able to keep up with the trials and tribulations of Burnley FC.

Now, if only Chris Waddle can do half as good a job as you.
