Local irritation

Sir: Reviewing a restaurant in Upper Street (Restaurant, 20 March), Nigella Lawson writes 'I never, ever thought I'd envy people living in Islington.'

I am sure that Charles Moore, Ferdinand Mount, Alan Watkins and any other Spec- tator contributors who live, or have lived, in this lovely area feel as offended as I do. What can Miss Lawson mean?
