Letters of Complaint:
1.  Socio-Cultural:
re. Racist remark on Radio 4?
re. Eurovision Dance Contest (re. xenophobia)
 2.  Commercial:
re. The Man in the Van
re. Graduation Photos
re. Store Card Pressure
re. Erroneous Phone Charges

(In this section, I hesitated about including some of the Letters of Complaint,
but after all, there’s a whole book of “The Henry Root Letters”,
and the commercial ones were such fun to write!)
