Jade Goody helped me. I went and got checked out. I haven't forgotten her story. I do think she was important in that regard. I asked my nurse as she was checking me out whether she had witnessed a Jade Effect and she said yes, there had been noticably more appointments.

Paul, (Monday's letters) the police may or may not have much experience of five year olds driving but I bet they have a lot of experience of drivers acting like five year olds!
Lynne Holmes, Lincoln

Judith from Weybridge (Monday's letters) has a point, although my attention was drawn more to the 5-foot camera mast than the door stickers.
