Letter: Sir Cliff's hit

Sir: Well, I hope Mark Steel feels better now that he's got all that off his chest. He seems to have taken a pop at everything that irritates him and, goodness knows, it's quite a list: Cliff Richard, his "Millennium Prayer", the Church of England, religion in general, society, the Seventies, show-jumping and on and on.

I must say that the whole business has cheered me up immensely. To see all these self-important arbiters of "cool" spluttering with rage has given me and many others a great deal of amusement.
