SIR - Food for thought! Regarding the closure of the Lychgate branch of Sainsbury's. I am 77 and have used the Lychgate branch in Worcester for many years.

My opinion of the matter is that people like myself would go into the store, purchase, say £10 worth of items, catch the bus and go home. The trend now is to drive to a store with ample parking and load up with £50 or more worth of items.

I am a non-driver. It seems to me it's about who Sainsbury's would rather cater for.

I don't think it has much to do with high rentals.
