Sir, The last few weeks have seen stories filling the pages of The Oxford Times and sister papers about the trials and tribulations of the very beautiful Eleanor Glynn, the current Miss England.

An obsessional fear of flying culminating in a "near death" flight, lost luggage, on-stage nerves and now harsh treatment by a dance instructor resulting in her dismissal from the Miss Europe competition!

There seems to be a common denominator amongst all these events.

Is it possible that Oxfordshire's very own beauty queen might actually do quite well in a drama queen competition?
