EXCITEMENT ABOUT NEW KINGS

Can’t wait to purchase my new Kings jersey! Gordon Upton

UNPRINTED TWEETS JUST A WASTE

We are sick and tired of sending tweets to the Herald and wasting our money by them not being printed. If we want to criticise the mayor and councillor of this metro, it is our democratic right. So from now on, I will save my R6.60 per day. Fed-Up, PE

WALK IN OUR PEDESTRIAN­S’ SHOES

Gordon Upton, why don’t you walk a mile in their shoes? There is no safe crossing for pedestrian­s who are forced to cross Heugh Road (and other roads). It is safer to dash across between the intersecti­ons. When crossing at the traffic light, one has to contend with the fact that when the light is red for motorists to stop, pedestrian­s can’t cross as motorists on green turn left and right across the pedestrian crossing. Pedestrian­s seldom get a chance to cross safely. Pedestrian­s overseas are able to cross safely because the light turns red for all motorists while they cross safely and everyone respects the rules. You didn’t mention that while pedestrian­s “scamper across the roads”, motorists are speeding by in posh cars talking or texting on their phones and their children are not strapped in! Why do you use words like “uncivilise­d” and “uncouth”? Surely you mean lawless and inconsider­ate?

SAME OLD OF TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE
