So what does this scraggy, unkempt, young female do? Shake the pram from side to side, up and down, back and forth which resulted in the child screaming louder and louder whilst the mother howled with laughter.

I was so angry at this and so were other passengers.

It was clear she didn’t know what to do and was just not interested in caring for the poor wee soul.

So my question is this — do young mothers actually receive education and training on how to look after their child? Or do they only care because of a house and benefits? — Very Saddened.

I live overseas and read the Tele on-line. If I didn't know better, I’d be led to the conclusion that Dundee is packed with people like Disgruntled OAP, Concerned Resident, Fed-Up Bus Traveller, Furious Smoker, Outraged Teacher and “50p is robbery for a cup of tea” merchants. — Macaroni Pie, South Korea.

The punchline is anything but funny for Scotland. All have gone to bat for the Union in the last few days.

Our closest neighbours in Eire, Iceland and Norway prosper whilst Scots die younger and poorer than even our contemporaries in England. — The Watchman.

The Taliban set fire to millions of acres of poppy fields. Thanks to corrupt governments, Britain is awash with cheap drugs. — E Bignell, Buttars Road, Dundee.

[We hate to disappoint you, Mrs Mackay, but it is indeed Dame Shirley Bassey. The ad is filmed in the spy-movie genre which sees the five M&S models (who include Twiggy) act as undercover agents called to an assignment.

Their mission, it turns out, is to attend an exclusive performance by Dame Shirley at a glamorous Christmas party.

Dame Shirley also provides the soundtrack — a specially re-worked version of Pink’s Get the Party started.]

Recently, as I entered the single lane, I became aware of an ambulance going through the tollbooths with blue lights flashing.

I sped up to the 50 mph speed limit, but the ambulance was held up by traffic in front of me.

However, until the single lane ended, the ambulance followed me at what seemed to be a dangerously close distance.

It should have been obvious to the driver that he would be stuck behind the traffic so why he felt it necessary to drive so close was beyond me.

I also point out the lack of information regarding the two-hour closures of the bridge in the early hours of the morning, which has caught me and others unawares.

I spoke to a young mother with a baby in a carrycot who had little petrol left, thus could neither backtrack home nor take the Perth detour.

An information sign at the Forgan roundabout only informs drivers that the bridge is closed and that they should take a detour via Perth.

But drivers could quite easily waste time and money while the bridge may be reopening within minutes. — Driven to Distraction.

MPD complains about a police vehicle travelling very slowly with no lights on.

Quite why she finds this intimidating is beyond me.

Police vehicles are clearly marked.

This vehicle was probably travelling in such a manner to look out for and detect housebreakers, vandals or anti-social youths — the very problems which Tele readers wrongly complain officers do nothing about. — Decent Citizen.

Its one claim to success was to gain a seat in Parliament held, I believe by Dundee MP Edwin Scrimgeour. He was a friend of my father and I remember his visits to our house in Leith.

I was brought up hearing, “Death to the Drink — Power to the People!”

I have an autograph entry of this and a signed photograph of the brave crusader. — Mrs M. H. Sadler, Portobello High Street, Edinburgh.
