Sir: Andreas Whittam Smith is correct when he writes of television and "its role as an educator". I don't have TV, never have, but occasionally see programmes courtesy of a friend and have been taught all sorts of things from the commercial breaks. Many of the food advertisements reveal that few people know how to hold a knife and fork.
