The price of a meal in the canteen? £1.40. We have only a very limited choice for £1.25.

Most of the management team think this is a nice gesture but everyone I know tore up this voucher in disgust.

I hope Sir Terry enjoys his £1.25 worth of caviar and lobster thermadore. — Very Little Helps.

As the nights and mornings are growing darker, people are becoming lax about cleaning up after their pets.

You may think no one will see because it’s dark, and, true, no one will be able to say for sure that it was your dog.

However, that will be scant consolation when dogs are banned from the practice ground altogether, as they undoubtedly will be if this continues.

So don’t spoil it for all of us. Have a little consideration and clean up. — German Shepherd.

How would these thoughtless owners like it if they opened their door to a big pile of mess? They would probably think twice then. — Disgusted.

The reason supermarkets can charge such low prices is because of the practices they employ, including forcing farmers to sell goods at less than production price.

We’re not talking about a level playing field. We’re talking about companies with massive buying power bullying suppliers and distorting the market without regard to economic, environmental or human costs.

It’s time people started looking beyond the end of their own noses when it comes to making decisions about where to spend their money.

I’m sure Mr Issa would love to lower his prices to compete with Tesco, Morrisons et al but it is simply impossible for small retailers to do so and make a profit. — Gavin Shaedler, Dundee.

I hope patio heaters and comfy seating are to be provided for the chillier nights.

The average smoker is more loyal to his or her cigarettes than to any pub. Establishments which provide the best facilities will draw in the puffing punters and reap the benefits of catering for the “nicotine” pound.

Perhaps it is now time to clamp down on the rowdy drunks who fill our pubs and spoil an otherwise relaxing night smoking. — Puff Daddy, Glamis Road, Dundee.

Outside of Saudi Arabia I saw very few women wearing a veil, and that included two years in Pakistan.

I, on the other hand, was never victimised for wearing a kilt.

If Muslim ladies wish to wear the veil, I have no problem.

But “Tis like a dog walking on its hind legs. It can be done but it seems uncommon strange” in Scotland. — Gerry McGuigan, Forebank Road, Dundee.

We have contacted the anti-social unit for help on several occasions but have yet to see any improvement, despite the promises.

It feels like the council cares more for their anti-social tenants than they do for their decent residents who pay their rent, taxes, etc. — Wits End.

I was with my son in hospital when you came to our house.

You took his bank and mobile phone you thieving louse.

And though you may now think you’re smart I think I must remind,

You of the little present for the police you left behind.

They have your prints and will catch you and we will all then laugh,

To see you in “Around The Courts” you little scumbag nyaff.

— G. D.

I remember an equally jocular pop single, Come Outside (1962) by Mike Sarne. This featured Wendy Richards (Pauline in EastEnders) doing Cockney asides to the main vocal.

The storyline was Mike trying to entice and romance the girlfriend, but Wendy replied in a series of asides, such as “Give over”.

The hit was penned by Charles Blackwell. — J. I. Matthew.

I do have concern for the military and the loss of life. I served overseas in the Middle East and Africa and saw soldiers taken from their loved ones.

While this waste goes on I, and other carers, are living in poverty looking after sick or disabled relatives. — Kenneth Hill, Brownhill Road, Dundee.

We could then fill them up with things like milk containers, washing-up liquid bottles, shampoo, conditioner, spray cleaners, water and juice bottles, bubble bath, shower gel, etc.

If this proved to be successful we as residents could maybe move on to glass. Remember, not everyone has a car. — Fintry Reader.
