Primary teachers are the most influential adults that children meet outside the family group and I think it should be incumbent on them as role models to take the Executive’s message of a healthy lifestyle to heart and lead by example. — Inverg.

First, a contractor comes along and lays monoblock. Then another contractor lifts this so he can lay the foundations for the shelter. They then replace the block.

Next, a team lift the monoblock to erect the bus shelter. They then replace the monoblock. But guess what? Along comes the first contractor to do a final touch-up.

Am I missing something? — G. O. B.

I offer this proposal. Individual soldiers should be allowed to pick from the existing range of uniforms.

This would not only save money, as existing supplies could continue to be used, but would give our boys a varied and interesting appearance. — John Eoin Douglas.

The No 28 leaving the Royal Exchange at 09.36 has 20 minutes to get to the Balunie Terrace terminus.

Compare this to the 1a bus at the same time and leaving point, which has 26 minutes to get to St Mary’s.

Please give the Douglas drivers more time, as the company must want them to break the speed limit. — Bus User.

I find that married staff and those with children, get first pick of holidays, days off and shifts, leaving others to fight over the scraps.

Also arriving late and leaving early for “family reasons” is widespread.

Any short notice of non-attendance by these people is usually dealt with by putting it down as “carer’s leave”. Not sickness or absence. — Disgruntled Single Man.

Change the tollbooths on the bridge to the northbound carriageway so traffic coming into the city would have to pay.

This would have the effect of slowing down traffic entering the city and speeding up traffic leaving greatly reducing congestion in the city centre.

Also, the East Port roundabout has been something of a disaster from day one.

Traffic coming down Blackscroft and heading into the Seagate are instructed to use the nearside lane on the approach to the roundabout.

This results in traffic being stuck behind traffic waiting to turn down Allan Street. It would make more sense for Seagate traffic to use the outside lane.

Of course, a better option would have been to have a flyover from the Lochee Road by-pass for bridge traffic which would also greatly reduce congestion at this roundabout. — Still Waitin’.

[Our letter writer sent this before the news that the tollbooths may be relocated.]

William was a native of Arbroath and married Mary Hunter on October 3, 1913, at the Wishart Memorial Church in Dundee.

After his death two entries were made in the People’s Journal, one in 1917 and the other in 1925. In the Memorial letter of October 1917 his wife and his sister-in-law, Maria Hunter, both wrote poems. His wife Mary mentions her poem was for his sorrowing wife and child. I can’t find any details of this child.

I was wondering if any readers are, or know of, any surviving relatives of William and Mary. — Ian L Kirkwood.

This is nothing but laziness. They should be made to shower and change before and after work.

I believe the hospital should be closed down, fumigated and sterilised, and it should not be allowed to open until it is proven that it is clean. — Mrs Sheen.
