Letter: Initial response

Published 29 August 1998

From Christopher John Dale

I was amused to read about the effects of your initials on your life span
(Feedback, 8 August).
My initials have provided much entertainment to colleagues
and friends since the BSE crisis began.

I work in the nuclear industry as a radiochemist, so the last thing I need is
something else that could potentially shorten my life span.
