I OCCASIONALLY suffer from insomnia but I have found over the years that one remedy is to read the readers’ comments that are posted below the Oxford Mail stories online.

As someone who shares his opinions with others I can hardly complain about people boring others, but at least I keep my musings short.

Furthermore, I have opinions about a range of topics, not just immigration, crime or people who live in certain parts of Oxford.

However, when I am desperate to fall asleep I can’t help pining for the days when Alan Page used to offer his reaction to everything the Mail printed – whatever happened to him, I wonder?
