Hello.

I'm Jane McIntyre, a Sony-winning BBC producer who asked to take the money and run. Now running, daily, and er... spending the money. Also, writing (recently runner-up in LateRooms travel blog competition) and working regularly as an 'extra' in TV, commercials and movies. Hurrah!

Name and address supplied

Another great letter from the Axminster Carpets' Propaganda Department, sorry, 'Name and Address Supplied', in this week's Pulman's 'We'll print virtually anything' View from Axminster.

Axminster is already one of the most affordable places to live in East Devon. Any notion that Axminster Carpets' scheme for 400 new houses will further improve that is entirely fanciful - will the seemingly ever-benevolent loomers be offering 2 bed houses at time-warp prices of sixty or seventy grand?

I think not.

Affordable housing in the town already exists - trouble is, with the banks not dishing out mortgages like they used to, or as they should, first-timers can no longer afford them. That's something only the banks can sort out. Not dear ol' Axminster Carpets. Bless 'em.
