I would like to second Mr RG Jenkins' delight in the new postal vote (Letters, April 17) but cannot agree with any other of his sentiments.

I did not find the forms at all difficult to understand.

Men and women laid down their lives to make Britain the oldest parliamentary democracy in the world.

Surely the least we can do is take enough time to understand the issues and the process and not snipe from the sidelines with petty complaints?
