Letter: It's all in a mile
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
From Mr Barry Sheppard
Sir: "Glasgow - It's Miles Better" (Alix Sharkey, 1 January) isn't much of a slogan when printed and read like that, I agree.
Try saying it aloud, however, while mentally moving the apostrophe, and you will hear "Glasgow - its Mile's Better". A pleasingly cheeky and, I am sure, not accidental snook cocked at Edinburgh and its Royal Mile.
Yours faithfully,
Barry Sheppard
Penryn, Cornwall
