SIR: After reading about the Queen being "hit" by a shot grouse, I must disagree with spokeswoman Janet George who says that grouse shooting is a safe sport.
It can hardly be called a SPORT, when a load of aristocratic yobbos go about shooting some defenceless birds, and it is not very safe for the grouse.
Next time they organise a "shoot", why don't they go to South America where there is a good chance of being hit by an albatross which could do some real damage?
How on earth Prince Philip can call himself President of World Wildlife, I don't know.
