RE: LAST week's letter headlined "Poppy Appeal cash shames this town".

MAY I thank Mr English for writing to the letters page of the Bucks Free Press to point out that £4,600 raised for the Poppy Fund was a shameful total!

However, I would ask him to set aside his anxiety.

An all important digit was left out of the total which should read £41,600.

The error was with my office.
