Sir, TnaG, I feel, would have enormous value in helping us to have an appreciation of our ancient and unique culture. This benefit seems greater and even essential when one considers the continuing move towards a drearily homogenised "global village". The words of Oscar Wilde whose mother Speranza would surely have been a TnaG supporter may well be appropriate for the fiscally obsessed critics when he spoke of those "who know the price of everything and the value of nothing".
