But you have to go right back nearly to the beginning of November to find the winner of our letter of the month prize.

Dr R J Jameson, of Fixby, wins the prize for his thoughts on the Jonathan Ross/Russell Brand affair which so dominated our news columns.

He took issue with our columnist Gemma Castle’s suggestion that the situation had been blown up out of all proportion. Dr Jameson argued that this was an instance where boundary-pushing becomes unacceptable and has to be stopped.

He wins a copy of The Assassin’s Cloak, an anthology of diarists, supplied courtesy of our friends at booksellers’ Waterstones. As ever, you’ve filled the Examiner mailbag with letters on a huge range of topics, from post offices and the paving in St George’s Square to the fortunes of Huddersfield Town, car parking and the Festival of Light staged in Huddersfield. Thank you.
