Sir, – In support of Michael Clarke (Letters, August 15th) and Gerry Ryan (Letters, August 18th), I too wish to stop those who are continually “reaching out”, just in case they fall.
While I can’t claim to have evidence in support of this opinion, I strongly suspect that some PR guru was requested to find a replacement for the equally irritating term, “touching base”, this having been in use for a number of years. Perhaps the users of the said term realised that it had eventually hit the bottom. – Yours etc,
VINCENT HAYES,
