Thank you to your correspondent Lesley Haddon, (November 18) for her enlightened letter regarding MP Chloe Swarbrick's now famous comment, "OK Boomer".

We should remember this young MP was responding to an interjection by a National MP during a debate on climate change.

National has casual policies with respect to climate change.

I believe that to cope with the vicissitudes of life, (and they are many and tough), young and old must communicate and work together.

As a member of the Boomer brigade, I am in touch with many young people, and take heart in Jacinda Ardern's policy of relentless positivity.

Thanks Jill

Another year is rapidly winding down to closure as it invariably is wont to do. No doubt Jill Nicholas will soon take a well-deserved break from storytelling (Our People profiles).

Appreciation of her journalistic skills is in keeping with acknowledgement of the intrepid journeys she shares with her interviewees and us, the readers.

May we look forward to a continuation next year please? In the interim Jill, thank you.
