After all those leaked emails from Giles Coren revealing his anger over alterations to his reviews, two senior subeditors from the Sunday Times, Mia Aimaro Ogden and Joanna Duckworth, write an open letter to the temperamental writer. It concludes: "Some years ago, a colleague of ours had a T-shirt printed up with the legend "xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx is a cunt" on the front, which he wore every week when having to deal with the writer to whom it referred, because he, like you, became so disproportionately abusive when his use of language was questioned. We'd hate that to happen to you, because you can actually write, and having "Giles Coren is a sanctimonious little twat who needs to get over himself" could be quite costly in T-shirt lettering. Subs are no more infallible than writers. So, let's all try a little mutual respect, shall we?
All the best"
Could this be the last word on this whole affair, finally?
