Thank goodness we did go in. The show was fast moving, funny and beautifully dressed.

From the opening to the finale it was a sheer pleasure to watch.

The Dorwin Stage School must be very proud of their youngsters.

Thank you Dundee for a wonderful stay and great entertainment. — Mr and Mrs Dunbar, Lake District.

I too know of someone who passed all the way to the final selection only to be refused, and was also given no reason. I also know of many firefighters who are working two jobs. One even runs his own company.

I too have always supported firefighters on strike, but would now ignore their rattling buckets. — S. Lainge.

I WRITE in reply to the letter concerned about Tayside Fire Brigade’s selection process. I agree with everything he or she said.

I know of three people who applied. One was a plumber, one an electrician and the third did not have a trade, but other qualifications. Only two were chosen — the plumber and electrician. — John Ramsay, Charleston Drive, Dundee.

I NOTED the spokesperson for Tayside Fire Brigade did not rebut the claim of your correspondent that 99% of new recruits are tradesmen who still ply their trade when off duty. — Victor Duncan, Lochee, Dundee.

I am 70 and boarded a number 12 bus at 9.10 am at Stack Leisure Park.

On showing my pass there was no response from the driver.

He sat with his elbow on the driving wheel and his hand on his chin looking at me as if I was stupid.

When I asked him if there was anything wrong he informed me it was not yet 9.30.

As I don’t use the bus often in the early morning I had forgotten I could not use my pass until then.

Some bus drivers should not be in this job as they are so grumpy.

Give me a Strathtay bus any day. I wish there was one on my route. — Humiliated Pensioner.

This would mean they are fair game for any driver to abuse.

What is the point of having them if they are not exclusively for a specific driver? I refer the letter writer to a report in the Tele last April about a parking debate instigated by MSPs Duncan McNeil and Johann Lamont.

The relevant paragraph is, “At present if an able-bodied driver takes a disabled parking space on a public road, they can be prosecuted and fined.” — D. D.

We have written a poem about Barney, an eight-year-old we are having difficulty in re-homing.

Why do you pass me by?

Always choose the other guy;

Is it because my muzzle is grey,

That you always turn away?

I’m loving and I’m so much fun,

My days on earth are not yet done;

A faithful friend I’m sure to be,

If someone would just choose me.

—       Nanette Jackson, Haven Rescue Kennels, Craigrothie, Leven, Fife.

Do these thieves think it’s cool or are they trying to act the “hard men” in front of their mates?

If you have said “yes” to either question you must be either a very sad person or have a screw loose.

Are you jealous because I have got a nice garden and you want to have one like mine? — C. Bennet, Dundee.

Can any readers point me in the direction of a good haberdashery?

Years ago they were 10 a penny but nowadays, with the cheap production of clothes, it has spelt the end of what was an age-old tradition of home repairs.

When I was a lad a pair of socks lasted for years. — Haberdashery Hunter.

The picture was, however, taken by the street photographer who used to stand outside the British Linen Bank in the Murraygate in Dundee.

The foot of the Wellgate can be seen at the back of the photograph. — Ex`-Postman.

Rather than caring about this monster, give more thought for the victims and their families. — Steve Coull, Dundee.
