LETTER:A bottle of Perrier to the lucky winner
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Chris Moorhouse
Sir: Much as I look forward to winning one of your 1970s classics in your current competition, I can't help wondering about the direction that future competitions will take.
Presumably, we are soon to be invited to collect tokens to win 1980s classics in a new competition. By now, I imagine marketing executives have procured a mint-condition MKI Volkswagen Golf GTi or Peugeot 205 GTi, Paul Smith suits, Butler & Wilson jewellery and videos of Oliver Stone's Wall Street and the BBC's advertising soap, Campaign. Perhaps there will be original Swatches, a motor-driven Nikon F3, early editions of the World of Interiors and bottles of Perrier with prise-off crown caps.
It must be too early for a competition to win 1990s classics, but I suspect that when it comes, apart from some Shaker furniture, it will offer experiences rather than things.
Yours sincerely,
CHRIS MOORHOUSE
