SIR - We must give credit where it is due and highly praise the landlady at the Mayflower pub at Dines Green who kindly put on a free Christmas lunch for numerous pensioners.

Della the landlady has a great personality and is very popular. I honestly think since being landlady at the Mayflower, she has been good influence and helped the elderly. I have seen a big change in Dines Green for the better and I feel it is all credit to Della.

JOYCE ROSE,

Worcester.
