• FURTHER to the sad news (Waitrose to close Camden High Street store, June 28), I would like to offer these few words of appreciation to a larger-than-life employee at this branch…

At the check-out he, himself, sold.
He certainly broke the mould
And to paraphrase
What John Lewis says,
Was Never Knowingly Underbold.
