There's a lovely piece by @henrywinter in the Times today - a tribute to Alex Ferguson which reminded me of a story I'd half-forgotten.
In the 1990s, I was a reporter in Leicester. Pre-Twitter, of course. Back then, if readers hated something you'd written, they'd write a letter to you, in furious capitals.
Or they'd ring you up, twisting your ear through the handset like the General to Dick Dastardly.
