IN answer to George Cowley's letter regarding Mr Blair's pay (You Say, June 21) if he thinks more about this he will realise Mr Blair has done his years of schooling, university and has very cleverly worked his way to the top.

Surely, whatever your political thoughts you have to admire this.

May I say he didn't get where he is today by sitting outside Sainsbury's or Warndon shops - and he certainly didn't get where he is by writing ridiculous letters to the Evening News.
