SIR - Please can I firstly thank everyone in Potters Bar who gave, with such generosity, tombola prizes to The Royal British Legion for this year's town carnival.

People have been so kind and gave without question.

One garage owner gave a free MOT for the second year running; big x for that!

I was then asked to collect for Combat Stress at the Hatfield proms the other weekend.

Again many people gave without question and some in large amounts.

Alas, there was one lady who spoiled my very enjoyable day by remarking, about collecting for Combat Stress; "what a stupid thing to collect for, we all get stressed".

Words fail me.
