The Oldie

Wilfred’s punishment

-

SIR: I thought you might be interested in this photo on a Facebook page I subscribe to, of Old Lincolnshi­re Rural Photos. It shows Oldie columnist Wilfred De’ath being pelted with wet sponges at the Corby Glen Sheep Fair in 1987. He was apparently paying the price for making derogatory comments about Corby Glen on a BBC broadcast. John Cornelius, North Ferriby, East Yorkshire
