Everyday prejudice

SIR – I sympathise with David Pearson (Letters, July 23), whose Yorkshire accent was mocked when he worked at a bank. I have a Cornish accent, and put up with “oo arr” a lot when I worked in the City.

In addition, although I am not Jewish, because of my name I have experienced anti-semitic remarks all my life – especially if I win a raffle. Paul Soloman
