It was the great spot as there were trees for shade (great weather), tables and benches for a picnic and the children could run around untroubled and safe.

The adults had a competitive game of rounders (women against men) with the women making up the rules as it went along.

Around 30 took part and a spectating family couldn’t drink their tea for laughing.

Wayne thanks everyone for a perfect day.

Who needs a carnival? Not us. — S. J. B.

Although it was before 6 pm, we were turned away at large pub chains because my two nephews are both under 13.

As I have no children I had never faced this type of problem before, but as a city resident I am appalled and embarrassed at the apparent lack of decent restaurant facilities that cater for families after 5 pm.

Granted it was a Friday so restaurants that cater for children were busy, but that really is no excuse for a city such as Dundee. Our last resort was KFC.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is Dundee a family-friendly city, but hides it well or does it just pander to the needs of single drinkers? — Annoyed Auntie.

We attended a performance at a near full Whitehall Theatre. What a fantastic show from start to finish.

Special congratulations to the characters of Jesus, Judas and Mary Magdalene played by Alex Watt, Stephen Watt and Deirdre McFarlane. — Miss Jennifer Adam, Kinghorne Road, Dundee.

I know we’ve had dismal efforts on the part of local councillors to solve this problem, but let’s sort it out by getting to the source.

The health authorities sold off the land that could have provided a large, free car park for staff and visitors alike.

Instead they wanted to show how good they were at raising cash.

The board had to have a £16 million debt written off a couple of years ago, and they only managed to get half a £million for the DRI site.

I think an investigation into Tayside health property sales is overdue. — Interested.

WHILE THE battle for parking spaces takes place all over Dundee, pitching neighbour against neighbour, where are our councillors who are, after all, responsible for this farce?

I think you will find them in their pigeon-free fortress living it up at our expense while their cars are parked safely, and no doubt freely, in a subterranean hideaway under the City Square. — Ken More, Tweed Crescent, Dundee.

They are putting their lives and others in danger.

My daughter and I were horrified one evening when we saw some youngsters, aged about ten, playing a game by deliberately cycling across Dens Road, Dundee, in front of traffic without any lights.

It must be a nightmare for drivers.

Apart from this I can’t understand why children of this age and younger are allowed out so late.

What are their parents thinking and what steps are the police taking to prevent this?

When I was a youngster everyone had lights fitted on their bike.

At the age of 12, most in my age group had to be in the house at nine every evening and or earlier during the winter nights.

In addition, we were never allowed to ride our bikes on the pavements.

However, I can understand the reason for cyclists using the pavements as the roads are too dangerous.

I only wish those who do so had more consideration for those on foot.

Am I too old fashioned? — Bewildered.

I am a pensioner who has three sons, but am saddened only one has a full-time job. My other two have been mucked about by the Job Centre, recruitment agencies and employment and aftercare services.

Both have had to go through a lot of harassment and have to be seem to be continually looking for work. Yet there is never anything for them.

They are now both in their 40s and have spent the best part of 10 years chasing real employment but being fobbed off with various training schemes and “artificial” work with an extra £10 on top of benefits, despite working over 30 hours a week.

In addition they have not been able to contribute towards a pension. — Worried .

The King James version of the Bible and other translations in the English language are there for all of us to read if we care to do so. — Ronald Smith, Reid Street, Dundee.

HOW MUCH longer will the persecution of the man walking naked the length of Britain continue?

I would never consider walking about in the nude, but for those who enjoy it, or do it for charity, I see no harm.

Walking naked or streaking at sporting events should not be classed as criminal. — Tele Reader, Dundee.
