BAY needs more plumbers: it appears that ad in The Herald is just a formality because all the information given in The Herald was wrong.

“CALLIES to mark 120th anniversary with tournament and social” (May 24): while I would like to congratulate Callies on 120 years of existence, please allow me to remind Mogan Segadavan that another very well-known football team also existed, namely Arcadia FC. It too produced many provincial players. Callies vs Arcadia games were always a big drawcard. No offence meant. GEORGE WARWICK

GRAMMAR POOR

PROF Jonathan Jansen, since when is ”gatvol” a word in the English language (“A teachable moment for SA”, May 24)? Your grammar is getting as trashy as your column. DOC

KEEP BOND ACCOUNTS OPEN

WESTERING house burns down (“Family devastated as home burns”, May 23): let this be a red flag to owners who want to pay up their bonds. Do not close the account. CHARL B
