I WRITE with reference to the letter from your anonymous writer regarding Cornwall Connected on Radio Emmet (Packet, January 3). I agree with his comments and I too would like to know what has happened to Cornwall Celebrates.

I wonder what other readers make of this? Chris Stumbles used to host an excellent weekend request programme on named station. A certain lady stood in for him while he was away. Responding to a gentleman's request she said something like: "Oh, I couldn't possibly play that, it is far too miserable!" before substituting a record of the station's chosing. This on a listeners' request programme! Was this political correctness, the usual English arrogance, or just plain ignorance?

Radio Cornwall "proper" was started by the Cornish for the Cornish. Would anyone at Radio Emmet care to tell us what has become of Nina Davey, Chris Stumbles, David Prowse, Jack Andrew, Jan de Pries and Dick and Jan Yendle?

I think the presenter to whom your writer refers, who took over from the legendary Chris Blount, was incomer Alex Full (London?). He presented Cornwall Connected in the run-up to Christmas at least once.

Oh my aching head! Why when Tiffany Truscott has been endorsed by Chris and praised by those of us fortunate enough to have heard her, is she not established as the permanent host of Cornwall Connected? Why is the programme presenter rarely named in the Radio Times? Why must we, the licence fee payers, have to guess at it? Maybe Radio Emmet assumes that we all listen to this rotten station 24/7? Please, we have lives. Maybe the Packet could include the name of the presenter each week? Please - politely!

Good riddance to "Cornwall Celebrates." Churches are the place to go if people are religious. I am not and don't class such things as entertainment on local radio.
