Dear Prime Minister

I enjoyed one anecdote in particular from Antonia Fraser’s Must You Go? on Radio 4 this morning

Harold Pinter received what was, in the circumstances, a rather fine letter of congratulations when he won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

The only problem was that it began Dear Harold & was signed Yours, Tony even though the two had never met.

The laureate replied with a letter which began Dear Prime Minister & was signed Yours, Harold Pinter.
