Dear Editor

I voted remain as I hoped the people of the UK could have easy access to the Mediterranean for good health.

Mild winters are very good for old people, and this is much like what happened some years ago when doctors got people out of the cities to go to the seaside.

In my view, farming needs subsidies. If storms damage and get rid of crops, the farmers have got to replant them somehow, and this also brings the food prices down which in turn pays the farmworkers.

On March 29th, 2019 I will be hiding in the countryside away from savage Brexiteers and thinking of mild wet Mediterranean winters and two crops of grass a year.
