LYING FOR A CAUSE

TIM MAGENNIS,

Sir, - Nadine Coyle, who lied about her age in Popstars, is in good company. Ireland's Antarctic hero, Tom Crean, also lied about his age when he joined the British navy in 1893 in his personal bid for adventure. He was 15, a year younger than Nadine. - Yours, etc.,
