Sir – You report (March 24) the comment made by councillor Fooks regarding the KFC balloon at the Pear Tree junction (“This is something we really ought not to put up with.”).
Whilst I admire the clever way in which she echoed Winston Churchill’s brilliant lampooning of those who get hung up on dangling prepositions (“This is the sort of thing with which we shall not put.”), I do think that she might also have recalled his comment that “Kites rise highest against the wind — not with it.”
