Sir: Lois Blythe writes about a certain John Major whom she evidently holds in high regard (Letters, 22 May). Whoever he is, he must be quite a persuasive person, not least in leading her to mistake him for the Prime Minister, whom clearly he hardly resembles at all. He must indeed be unique: others with the misfortune to have this name would go to great lengths to prevent such a misunderstanding.
