I looked across and there was no sign of a child in the car.

As the woman went into the store, the man went into the boot of the car and brought out a child car seat and put it in the back of the car.

I couldn’t believe my eyes that he had just done this. He then locked the car and walked into the store.

There were many spaces available in the standard parking area which isn’t a great distance from the store.

A great display of abusing a facility for parents/guardians, who have babies and children.

Shame on that man and woman, I felt so embarrassed for him as he knew he was doing wrong. — Astonished.

The Mansion House is now apparently being converted to flats. — Dog Walker.

[Ballumbie Mansion House, four miles north-east of Dundee, was built in the early 1900s for a rich jute family, and it was said that within the grounds was an ash tree reputed to have been planted by Grizzel Jaffray, who in 1669 was executed as a witch in the Seagate.

With seven bedrooms, bar, lounge, dining room and function suite, it was opened as a hotel in 1965, its first proprietor being former city councillor Joseph Dorman, who also owned the Green Cockatoo café and confectioner's in Mains Loan.

It closed in 1981 and was virtually destroyed by fire shortly afterwards.

Ballumbie Castle, built in the 14th Century, was once the property of the Lovell family, including the infamous Henry of that ilk, who terrorised his neighbours in the 1560s.

The once strong courtyard castle was ruined by the end of the 17th century and later incorporated into the stable-block of Ballumbie House.

Now the area incorporates the 18-hole, 6127-yard Ballumbie Castle Golf Course and considerable housing development.]

Designers that were once credible, such as Prada and Lacoste, are now very much favoured by local schemers. Much of the clothes they wear are fake, probably brought back from a cheap holiday in Turkey.

It is hard for me to keep up to date with the fashion labels that have been adopted by our baseball cap-wearing chums. It is happening at a rate faster than a Dundee woman on roller skates at an all you can eat Chinese buffet.

Also, there seems to be a prevalence of men in their 40s in Dundee who still dress as if they are in their early 20s. I have seen many of these silver haired chaps wearing tracksuit tops, jeans and naff looking trainers. I refer to this as the “Jimmy Chavile” look. — Snappy Chappy.

For this I was thrown in the back of a police van and advised of my rights, all of which lasted for about 15 minutes. Then I was told by the officer to have a nice day.

Good for her for solving such a major crime. The public are much safer now and my plates are changed.

How many old people were mugged and robbed and real crimes committed in that 15 minutes. It’s a waste of resources.

I was lucky to receive just a fine and not a custodial sentence. — Numbers Up.

Many pensioners who voted Labour on that promise will sadly have passed away by then.

Labour’s other promise to get rid of sleaze in government has failed to materialise. When will this government stand by its promises?

It keeps boasting we are the fourth strongest economy in the world. To my mind, a strong economy is taking care of the sick, the children and the elderly. — Jack Stewart, Potterhill Flats, Bridgend, Perth.

Do these guys have a death wish? Have you ever tried to cross the dual carriageway there?

Bad enough for one person with the cars, buses and trucks that travel this particular stretch of Silverstone, but there will now be 500 students all attempting to get to classes about 9 am, half asleep, hung over and probably half daft. — Interested Party.

RE ABERTAY UNIVERSITY student flats — why has Dundee Council given permission for these flats.

At the present time there are hundreds of flats being built in Blackness Road/Hawkhill area.

Abertay could have converted hotels in the centre of Dundee like the Tay Hotel and Royal British for students’ accommodation. — J. W.

As a frequent user of the early morning trains my weekly cost will go up from £51.75 to £80 per week.

I think this is outrageous since the trains are never on time, are often overcrowded and are already costing Scottish commuters more than in other parts of the UK.

I pay £20 for the “privilege” of owning a Railcard which has now become a waste of money. — Angry Dundee Commuter.

This despite the “modernising” efforts of the authorities, including persecution, eviction at the point of a bayonet and forced emigration.

A few Gaelic cartoons seems a bit inadequate for such a catalogue of hostility. — Albannach.
