In which an accountant, his nurse wife, and their lawyer daughter lovingly squabble through letters to the editor, on the subject of the 5-minute quiz.

Something like the lost epistolary novel of PG Wodehouse has surfaced in the pages of Wellington’s daily paper over the last couple of weeks. Below, the letters. We look forward to further contributions from the Horner family, though nb the letters page doesn’t appear online, so you’ll need to buy the paper. The 5-minute quiz is good, too.
