On our desk at the Cats Protection Shelter in Foundry Lane was a cats’ collection box, which was nearly full, and chained to the counter.

It was wrenched off and stolen when our staff were briefly absent. How despicable can some people get?

We give our services free to home and look after vulnerable cats, and look on it as a labour of love.

Then we are hit by these horrible people, who seem to look out only for themselves. Luckily the vast majority of our customers are not in this category but it is very disheartening. — Evelyn Kelly, Fundraiser.

I wonder if the Tele could publish the figure to save all the arguing, which is currently happening on the Dundee taxi ranks. — O.P.

[The Tele asked Dundee City Council to confirm the number of taxi licences which had not been renewed.

A spokesman for the council said, “A total of 494 licences have not been renewed for a variety of reasons.”

Many of these people will have better facilities in prison than they have at home. It should be like the 1970s when all cells had was a bed and if you asked for a book you were handed a Bible.

No wonder habitual offenders say they can do six months standing on their head. — George Aimer, Kinghorne Road, Dundee.

According to everyone who spoke to me on the evening, and the phone calls I’ve received since Saturday, it was a huge success and all who attended had a great night.

Lorraine Wyllie, who prepared all the food for the evening, was fantastic and without all her help the event wouldn’t have happened.

The band, disco and security were also very generous and only charged expenses for the evening.

I cannot thank local businesses and the people of Dundee enough for all their donations, which helped raise the total sum of £2400 on the night.

Lorraine Wyllie and Jill Harris deserve a special mention, their generosity and hard work was exceptional.

Lorraine, Jill and I are now organising ladies’ nights, bingo nights and fancy dress nights at the moment, so our fundraising is still ongoing and we hope to reach our target of £5000 in the very near future. — Andy McIntosh.

We attended last year and thoroughly enjoyed the concert but were angered and disappointed with the pricing and policy on food and drink.

The cost of a small bottle of cola was £3 and upwards and food prices were even more extortionate.

Absolutely no food or drink was allowed into the outdoor arena meaning that concertgoers had no choice but to buy the food on offer from the vending vans on site, either that or leave the arena, missing artists in the process. The concert lasts around 10 hours each day.

These policies are to be repeated this year forcing everyone to buy from the grossly inflated priced vans.

After paying £80 each for a ticket, is it too much to ask to bring a few sandwiches and bottles of water with us? — Skint and Hungry.

I say that the character E.T., in the Steven Spielberg blockbuster, was part-played by a teenage boy who was actually upside-down inside the costume and that this helped create the unusual gait carried off by the extra-terrestrial. Is this true? — Movie Trivia Buff.

[Two dwarfs, Tamara De Treaux and Pat Bilon, as well as 12-year-old Matthew De Meritt, a boy born without legs, took turns wearing the costume, depending on what scene was being filmed.]

They supplied a magazine which detailed all the goods their store sold, A to Z.

You phoned in your order, paid through your cash card and had your shopping delivered to your door by delivery vans (freezer).

Sadly this service was stopped suddenly.

As a severely disabled pensioner, this service made my life so easy.

It would be great if one of our other supermarkets could fill this gap. I know a lot of housebound pensioners would appreciate this. — J. Munro, Lochee Pensioner.
