	BBC NEWS \| Have Your Say \| Lynda Lee-Potter: Your tributes
		I enjoyed Lynda's column most weeks - although I didn't always agree with her it was clear that she was writing what the silent majority seem to think.
		I liked Lynda's style of writing and thoughts, you might not always agree with her views, and she challenged us on so many things, but at least she was 'brave' enough to do so and in this day and age that is a rare enough trait.
		Lynda will be sadly missed and Wednesday's edition of the Daily Mail will no longer be the same without her.

		Lynda Berrison from a Lancastrian mining family, was a young drama school graduate when she married a doctor, the son of Air Marshal Sir Patrick Lee-Potter, in.
		He slept through the ceremony, which went off without a hitch, thus enabling his grand-daughter to rise to the social position from which she can now write: “Luckily, my husband comes from a family where the furniture and silver is inherited”.
		Bravely she puts her own “Lynda” on the list of “Naff” first names, along with such others as Rita, Sharon, and Beryl which she cruelly reveals is Bel Mooney’s real name.

		When titled people run over tramps they shout, "Look what you've done to my bloody bumper!" and when their maids fall ill they complain it is "so boring." Though more than one Prime Minister has claimed British society is now classless, these aristocratic foibles live on.
		One of the upper set recently asked Lee-Potter: "You come from nothing, Lynda, don't you?" meaning that her family "had no titles, no land and no social position." But though she shed the accent and recipes that might give away her background, she has come to appreciate its fighting spirit.
