DAVID Langton comes to the curious conclusion that the Regatta at Dorney will turn into an event that Marlow town "can be extremely proud of".

I suggest that, as a good reporter, he should talk to the man and woman in the street.

There he will find real anger that a handful of subscribers, many of whom do not live in or near the town, are being allowed to steal its name in the hope that to do so will give the false impression of an historic past.
