Sir, – What on earth was the Thirsk Regeneration Initiative doing buying such a large table (D&S Yorkshire editions, Sept 17) in the first place?
Unless it was actually made in or close to Thirsk, which might just about be permissible, it is as fine an example of pointless and excessive expenditure by a status-seeking quango as one could wish for.
