Sir – Christopher Gray is of course quite right to complain about ‘free plugs’ given by the BBC, and about restaurant critics whose reviews favour their friends and their families (Gray Matter, December 12).
I trust, therefore, that it will be some considerable time before we hear again from Mr Gray in your columns, about how one of his own old pals invited him to sample the hospitality at their establishment, in the company of his partner and her mother, and about how wonderful it all was!
