Anne Nightingale features listeners' letters on almost any subject.
A recent letter expressed the following views:
' have an interest in war as a hobby as I am one of the crazy breed known as wargamers. (We play with toy soldiers using complex rules to recreate the intricacies of battle.) People may find our hobby morbid but we are more interested in the history of war (a very important part of our heritage) and not in killing. Our style of fighting has the advantage that at the end of the battle the armies are packed away on to shelves, all living to fight another day. whilst there are no metal or plastic widows to write to. We treat our hobby responsibly, being more interested in uniforms and tactics than in death.' Producer SIMON MAJOR
