I read many of your names with amusement and occasional surprise.  As I recall the only occasion I have been asked whether I was a Europhile was on Radio Sheffield shortly before the last election.  I said no.

The Times list was only brought to my attention long after the Election and was clearly under-researched.  It did not harm our result in Bolsover, where I suffered the smallest swing of a first or second placed Conservative candidate in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

Yours

Richard Harwood

Dear Mr Harwood,

Many thanks for your e-mail dated the 4th October 1999.  I apologise for my lateness in replying, but have had problems with Demon Internet.  These have been solved, but I have added my personal e-mail address and mobile telephone number to the Candidlist web page just to be on the safe side.

On the basis of the information you provide, I have provisionally reclassified you to a Sceptic, though I would be grateful to receive something more definite.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Sean Gabb

Dear Mr Harwood,

I note with some concern that you have not replied to my invitation of the 26th October to supply evidence of your sceptical credentials.

Until I hear from you again, I must reclassify you as a don't know - which is all that your e-mail of last 4th October indicated.

Yours sincerely,
 

Dr Sean Gabb
