Letter: Never mind the legwear, stick to the lunch

MY PATIENCE with Daisy Waugh finally wore out last Sunday when she described an elderly waiter who wore 'horrible pale blue fitted summer trousers' ('On the north-west frontier', Review). Whatever was the purpose of such gratuitous rudeness? Did it never occur to her that a waiter - even a waiter in Willesden, even an Indian waiter in Willesden - might just read the Independent on Sunday.
