Nasty Nigel

Sir: Now that your 'High life' correspon- dent has become a gossip columnist on a Sunday newspaper, may I suggest that, instead of whingeing like a Prince Charles clone at what he perceives to be an attack on his rather curious morality, he assimi- lates the first rule of journalism: if you dish it out, you must learn to take it. Talc should be encouraged to stick to what he does best — rehashing cobwebbed reminis- cences of his days playing tennis with Rubirosa and dancing with Onassis (or was it the other way around?).
