Staple diet

Sir : May I suggest one change in the SPECTATOR which would be excellent? Could someone repair its stapling machine? Frequently, and for many years, my copy has had only one staple. Today I have none. Enough is enough is enough. But I don't get enough.

We have had many such letters complaining of the stapling. We apologise for this, and have been assured by our printers that they are aware of the situation.—Editor, SPECTATOR.
