LETTER: Time for romance
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 Tony Brandon
Sir: In today's issue (Home News, 13 January), you refer to the newly refurbished clock at Waterloo station in London as a romantic rendezvous for lovers which was immortalised in the Noel Coward 1946 film classic Brief Encounter, starring Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson.
The truth is that the hapless couple held their trysts some 200 miles north of the capital, where the location filming took place, on Carnforth station in Lancashire. Indeed, in her biography, Celia Johnson speaks warmly of the many happy hours she spent in the company of the station staff.
Yours sincerely,
Tony Brandon
