I asked them to leave and they did so with no problem until they got to the front of the building where they shouted abuse.

These youths are causing great havoc in our close at night. I have a family and my home is important to me.

I ask the parents of youngsters if they know where they go at night.

I also ask the authorities to stop youngsters apparently running the city of Dundee. — Unhappy.

Pornography is bad enough, but when it involves children my heart bleeds.

Sex is something we hear far too much about nowadays from both the press and television.

The media tell us sex is a private matter. I wish they would treat it as such.

I also wish there were ways of putting a stop to child pornography and paedophilia once and for all.

However, it seems to be out of control like an epidemic. — John Devlin, Glamis Road, Dundee.

I boarded only to be told he had only halted to tell me the buses had stopped running because of the weather.

I thought he was kidding, but he insisted I got off, despite the fact he was going to the depot near my destination.

The driver said I would not be insured. I thought common sense would prevail after I told him I lived near the garage, but I had to walk and got soaked.

Before I reached home two Strathtay buses passed with people aboard. — Ed McHugh, Dundee.

[Phil Smith, operation manager for Travel Dundee, said, “We follow a strict policy in following up complaints.

“To do that we need as many details as possible. The approximate time of the incident and the bus service number would help.

“We would be keen to hear from Mr McHugh, as we see no real reason why the driver did not take him along the route since it was going in that direction anyway.

“We can be contacted on 01382 201121 or he can go to the Travel Dundee shop in Commercial Street to speak to a staff member.”]

[Glen Michael presented the show on STV for 26 years. It started as Cartoon Cavalcade in 1966 and changed its name later to Glen Michael’s Cavalcade.

In all there were over 650 Sunday afternoon shows, which also featured Glen’s two dogs, Rudi the dachshund and Rusti the terrier, plus Paladin, an old oil lamp.

Glen, who kept his age secret, was born Cecil Buckland in Devon. He came to Scotland in the early 50s as part of a touring show and never left. He still lives in Ayr.

Ian Carmichael, the stage, screen and television actor, played mainly light comedic roles. His best remembered film is probably I’m All Right Jack and on TV his many roles included Bertie Wooster in the series based on the P. G. Woodhouse character. The 83-year-old recently received an OBE.]

On returning home to Canada after a trip to Scotland my bank would accept only paper money to be converted back to dollars, leaving me with a pile of pound coins.

Considering that the pound is over $2 Canadian, this is quite a chuck of money.

Unfortunately we have the same problem here — the $1 “Loonie” and the $2 “Toonie”. Their nicknames say it all. — Jean Liddell, Ontario, Canada.

Ms Moira Leslie will be in her 60s and her last known address was Albert Square, Dundee.

She had a sister and her father was a member of the police in Dundee.

She migrated in 1956 and worked with Margaret at the then Postmaster General’s in Tasmania as a telephonist.

Ms Leslie, a qualified nurse, left Australia for Chad in 1959-61 where she became a matron at a hospital. — Margaret Dale (tel 07 5448 8902; fax 07 5448 9157; email mauricegall@austarnet. com.au).

The Honeygreen – Linlathen – Mid Craigie – Midmill – Happyhillock area of Dundee has been waiting for around 20 years. We do not even have a doctors’ surgery. — Disabled Golden Oldies.
