Letter: Proud to come from Croydon

Sir: Lynne Curry (letter, 2 July) may object to some of your writers mentioning their Oxbridge

credentials.

Well I object to yet another derisory reference to Croydon, this time to an imaginary Croydon Comprehensive.

As it happens, Croydon contains some of the best schools in the country - three are mentioned in your Parents' Choice: A selection of Britain's best schools. I certainly would not want to hide the fact that I attended one of them.

Yours faithfully,

LESLEY BOLTON

Croydon
