JOHN Phillpott quoted his younger friend Dave (Phillpott File, June 19): "It's changed since your day".

Dear God, you can say that again.

Where now is Picturegoer magazine with its photographs of Jane Russell's legs and Sophia Loren's figure? Where are Roy Rogers and his sidekick Gabby Hayes? Where now are Abbott and Costello, Groucho Marx, and Flanagan and Allen? Where are Max Wall, Max Miller, Reg Dixon, Arthur English, Arthur Askey, Tommy Cooper. I'd better stop before I burst into tears.
