GLYNDEBOURNE FOOD SIR,—In spite of Richard Greet's letter, I still

uphold the cause of those who picnic at Glyndebourne. We know our manners about litter, and I have never seen any left behind. I am not so sure about the good manners of bagging a site for your picnic. This savours too much of the preparatory school- boy's attitude to life, and might well be abandoned. As to standing up and queueing at the cold buffet in Nether Wallop, at last the real reason for the re- moval of most of the seating accommodation is obvious to an ex-schoolmaster; too much nether wallop.—Yours faithfully,

W. IL OLDAKER
