When we left the shop, we headed out towards the Linlathen exit and noticed a man in his 40s talking to an elderly woman.

The two adults were standing on the road talking, and the man had a very young child in a buggy, also on the road.

Cars were having to dodge these people while they continued to talk, but the saddest thing of all was that a path was only feet away.

I thought I had a duty to tell the adults to stand on the path as the child’s life was clearly in danger. The man told me to mind my own business and leave them alone. I informed him of his irresponsible actions. His reply was he’d raised five children so he knew what he was doing.

My wife was extremely angry at his actions and told the adults that roads are not a safe place to stand while talking with a child in a buggy.

We were so dumbfounded that we had to walk away. — Green Cross Road Man.

It is not as rare a sight as some people think as the common seals which frequent the Tay regularly lie out on any sand banks which become available as the tide goes out.

It is quite common especially early in the year after the pups are born to see 40-50 of these gorgeous creatures on the Ladybank off Broughty Ferry esplanade. Care must be taken if trying to go near them as they are very nervous and the sandbanks are dangerous, especially when the tide is turning. — Art Sangster, Douglas.

Traffic turning left on to the dual carriageway at Tom Johnstone Road frequently take a big chance by trying to sneak out into the oncoming traffic, some of which is moving at considerable speed.

I’ve seen drivers having to swerve into the path of oncoming traffic in the fast lane, just to avoid a car travelling much slower up ahead.

It’s a dangerous situation. Although the speed limit on this stretch of road is 40 mph, I see little evidence of many people obeying it.

It seems people are so desperate to get home, they are willing to risk their lives to leave the junction. — Careful Driver.

The pylons on Greendykes Road, Dundee, have been there all my life and I used to see them every day when I left my house, but never really noticed them.

What a difference it was on Monday when I walked out the door and the skyline was clear.

They may seem insignificant in the grand scale of things, but I think this is one of the biggest transformations to the cityscape since the wind turbines at Michelin were erected. — Craigiebank Resident.

Last weekend was a prime example. I had my nine-year-old daughter with me and the language we were subjected to was disgusting. I did make an effort to speak to these youths but it fell on deaf ears.

I appreciate that not all youths are like this, but a bit of consideration must be observed when you know there are others in the vicinity. — Hilltown Hawk.

Tesco closing added to the gloom, but in saying this I have nothing but praise for the staff of Farmfoods in the High Street.

I find them very helpful packing bags at the check-out and it is always done with a smile.

Also praise goes to Boots the chemist staff and betting shop staff.

Last, but not least, the voluntary staff who work in the charity shops.

Yes, not everything is doom and gloom when we have so many sunshine workers. — C. A. Walker, Lochee, Dundee.

Just like Governments spending millions a year on rehabilitation for drug takers and alcoholics, these are all self-inflicted and it’s sad that the taxpayer has to pay for their treatment. — Jimmy Borland.
