I write with reference to your article "Leicester Mercury readers get their chance to question the Prime Minister" (Mercury, November 21).

In it, teenager Robin Bonell was described as an "astrologer" before discussing light pollution which affects astronomers.

I suggest you look up the difference between astronomy and astrology. Would the Leicester Mercury be so cavalier in confusing rugby league with rugby union? I thought not!

Editor's footnote: The description "astrologer" was obviously incorrect. We should have said "astronomer". Apologies.
