Letter: Secret of RAC is towing in the wind
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.Sir: In reply to Miles Kington's Ballad to the RAC ('Lines written on the hard shoulder of the A1(M) . . ', 6 October) about how he could not resist joining the club 23 times on account of the patrolmen's winning smiles, I have been musing over the following reply (with apologies to Bob Dylan):
How many times must a man walk by,
the knights of the RAC?
The answer my friend,
while towing in the wind,
the answer - a smile's always free]
Yours faithfully,
