HUMOUR PLEASE
Sir,-Your correspondent Jim Douglas is put out because of the lack of humour in the programmes.

Furthermore, I expect that working on the land could be quite well described as war working, and I must say that any other so-called "highbrows" of my acquaintance get no time to sit round the radio all day while the modest real workers are on their job. I was inspired by a recording of Mozart’s 34th Symphony from Station
