Sir: In last week’s Style & Travel section, Victoria Mather gets socially airborne about dog names and breeds. She says dukes have labradors called Purdey, while dustmen have pitbulls called Tyson.

I am a youthful 63-year-old colonial refugee from Southern Rhodesia. My King Charles spaniel is called Elvis. Where would she put me?
