They’ve spent years building up good and trustworthy reputations.

Let’s not tar all the posties with the same brush just because of a couple of bad ’uns. — Shirley Blair, Mains of Fowlis.

Yet on national TV the lead singer of Dirty Pretty Things lit up a cigarette on stage.

When we asked the police about the policy, they said it was nothing to do with them and to get in touch with the council. I’ve sent emails to the council, without reply.

Is a star allowed to smoke in a non-smoking place whereas we are not even allowed to smoke in bus shelters? — A. Smoker.

It was stated the majority of tickets would be allocated to local people.

However, it would appear some postal workers and people who live outside Dundee were the lucky recipients.

In addition, some people from Dundee, fortunate enough to receive the free tickets, chose to sell these on eBay through sheer greed.

It’s a pity that some genuine music lovers had to miss out. — M. Annoyed.

It saddens me this person probably received several tickets in good faith from Radio 1 but had the hard neck to do this. — Shy, Dundee.

Seemingly there was only just over 3000 for people in Dundee each day.

Radio 1 should review their system for next year so dishonest people won’t steal tickets.

It is easier to queue. — Disappointed, Dundee.

A solution would be buying a Digital Video Recorder (aka Personal Video Recorder, or PVR).

They record directly on to an internal hard drive (hence no tapes or disks are needed). Programs can be set very easily from the on-screen program guide.

You can simultaneously watch a previously-recorded program while recording another (or even record two programs at once, on some twin-tuner models).

And if you wanted to keep a permanent copy of your recording, it can easily be transferred on to VHS or recordable DVD.

Prices for these start around £95. — R. Warskyj, Dawson Road, Broughty Ferry, Dundee.

The menu should give the steps to follow for this operation. — D. Watt, Dundee.

We have to travel to Marchbanks. No wonder there is fly-tipping at places in the East End. — Mrs Strathearn, Blacklock Crescent, Linlathen, Dundee.

[A Dundee City Council spokesman said, “We hope to have the new recycling facility opened later this month.”]

Since its inception in 1984, the unique and innovative fundraising theatre company has raised a grand total of just under £300,000 for local and national charities, as well as raising laughs by the barrow-load for many thousands of theatre-goers.

During these past 22 years, the group has performed no fewer than 43 different comedies in the Gardyne Theatre, and this autumn’s eagerly awaited production is the stage version of arguably one of the funniest sit-coms ever to grace our TV screens, Fawlty Towers.

To date, approximately 80 worthy causes have benefited from ACT IV’s twice-yearly productions. As the years have gone by, some of those beneficiaries have either attained their financial goals or opted for alternative means of fundraising.

The result is that ACT IV now has places available on its waiting list, and would like to hear from representatives of charities, churches, community organisations or suchlike, which can be either local, or national but with local representation.

ACT IV is here to help raise funds for worthy causes which are already supported by willing volunteers, and any organisation interested in hearing more about how the group can help with fundraising is invited to make contact: by phone (01828 640 334); by email (activ@beechlee.plus.com); or by letter (ACT IV Secretary, 13 Beechwood Terrace West, Newport-on-Tay, DD6 8JH). — ACT IV.

I also hear that the flats are now getting new heating systems installed and new alarm systems/rewiring. — Dundee Reader.

Imagine my shock when, browsing through a shop in Dundee’s Wellgate Centre, I came across the very same DVD.

It was being offered for £1.

I will shop around before delving in the next time . . . and so should others. — Philip Welsh.
