Name calling

Sir: I hope Ms Duff-Information (Letters, 8 February) isn't seriously invoking the appalling Gowing's sensitivity about his name in support of yet more censorship.

In my years at school I revelled in being at different times Great Bear Lake, Great Slave Lake and even Lake Erie. During the school play it was 'Lake, Huron!' and I even enjoyed being sworn at as Lake Athabasca.

I am proud to be one of the Great Lakes, and am pleased to sign myself:
