THE South Wales Argus journalists have all been of interest to me ever since I first bought the paper and normally I read their articles on the day of publication. I ought to apologise to Mandy Langley because I’ve let it get to the afternoon of Tuesday, June 11, and I’ve only just got around to reading her Friday, June 8 Off Centre page ‘Dreaming to Order’ and ‘Voters are Unpredictable’ articles, both of which are extremely well- written and are thought-provoking.

As are also the things she invites us to consider ‘in brief’ – facts that are not simply witty, but are informative too.

Mandy, I consider, is the brains of the outfit, I have often thought that from previous articles she has written.

Now I haven’t a shadow of a doubt about it, nor that she has the most elusive of all gifts, common sense!
