Not my cup of tea

From Mr Simon Courtauld Sir: Having continued, in conversation over the years and once or twice in these pages, to call Bodmin Road railway station Bod- min Road since its pointless renaming as Bodmin Parkway, I was delighted to see Tim Heald, in his quasi-Cornish Diary (21 October), giving a nod to us 'traditional- ists'. But I was sorry to read that be had had 'a coffee' while passing through that station on the train.

We traditionalists have a cup of coffee.
