I was waiting in a line of cars in Alexander Street and the lights at the junction with Hilltown were taking an age to change.

Several cars did U-turns, while others pulled out of the queue and jumped the red light in order to turn right.

A black Audi convertible in front of me did exactly that — and we were at least six or seven cars back!

I hope the CCTV camera saw these idiots and the police visit soon.

Meantime, perhaps the authorities could check these lights and have them adjusted before there’s a serious accident at this junction. — Mazda Driver.

I’m afraid council surveyors are burying their head in the tarmac over this one, or perhaps they checked out the route in a hovercraft, which would have cushioned them somewhat from the reality.

I have come to a different conclusion about the ripples — monitors attached to my backside confirm to me they are definitely still there.

Of course, I could have unusually sensitive monitoring instruments — or buttocks, for that matter.

But, as far as I’m concerned, a drive along Arbroath Road heading east towards the Scott Fyfe roundabout still feels like a ride into the big ring at the circus aboard Coco the Clown’s mismatched-wheel jalopy.

And before you ask the question, I don’t work at a carnival, I don’t wear a red nose, nine-to-five, and my fairly-new coupe has four identically-sized wheels with correctly-inflated tyres.

So does Dundee City Council still insist the ripples have resolved themselves?

Maybe they’ve just resolved themselves into a matter that will cost too much money, time and effort to rectify.

Is that the true situation? — Ashley Follett, Happyhillock, Dundee.

Last week, despite being at my usual stop in plenty of time, by 9.30 it had not appeared.

As it is due to leave Ninewells at 9.32 to continue its journey into town I was becoming a bit concerned until it appeared round the corner. Imagine my dismay, however, when it shot straight past me displaying a “Sorry Not In Service” sign despite there being six or seven passengers already on the bus.

I hailed a taxi and was able to make my class on time, but three others, two who get on in Glamis Road and the other in Charleston Drive, didn’t, and arrived 45 minutes late.

Obviously, this bus had been cancelled for its entire journey.

On phoning Travel Dundee to voice my protest I spoke to someone who confirmed the bus had been withdrawn from service because it was running late, but stated the next one wouldn’t be far behind.

As a half-hourly service, I assured him this was not the case as the electronic tracking device displayed it was not due for another 20 minutes.

When I enquired why the bus was delayed, I was informed this was because of road works in the centre of town and there was a possibility of the same thing happening for the next three weeks. He suggested I catch an earlier bus until then.

It beggars belief that I have to catch a bus at 8.50am to reach Perth Road for 10am, and what guarantee is there that this bus, too, will not be “out of service”? — Totally Disgruntled.

This will be the first time I’ve spoken in the city for more than 25 years. Having been born and brought up in the city and cut my political teeth here, I plan to make a few days of it. I intend to hold a private party for my old school friends, political associates, workmates, etc, while I am here.

If any readers fall into any of these categories it would be great to hear from them at gallowayg@parliament.uk upon which I will give them the details directly. — George Galloway MP, House of Commons, London.

In the past two months I have had to wait sometimes up to one hour for a bus that should be every half-hour. Then it shows up late and has this written on it and the driver lets passengers off, but won’t let anybody get on the bus.

Lately I have missed appointments when buses don’t even turn up and, of course, you get into trouble for being late. — Tired Waiting Passenger, Old Age Pensioner.

The perception that graffiti is a form of artistic expression is fair enough, but what is often not mentioned is that sometimes this “art” placed on people’s property, without their permission, can be upsetting, and costly.

If there are budding artists out there who want to express themselves, there should be set places for them to do it and not on other people’s homes and businesses.

Let’s hope the police message gets through and this blight on our communities can be stopped once and for all. — Graffiti Victim.

I have been trying to get out of Hilltown Court for a long time, but I’m seen as a low priority.

I consider myself to be a good tenant and neighbour and I work full-time, but it has become increasingly difficult to go to work with so many disturbed nights.

I hope the powers-that-be in the housing department do the right thing and re-house me as soon as possible, but I won’t hold my breath. — Hilltown Court Resident.
