No grounds

AS an ex-teacher I find Andy, outdoor enthusiast, rude — and he has no grounds to berate Puzzled uncle.

Andy comes across as spending most of his time outdoors. Also, why is he a former outdoor instructor? Attitude wouldn’t be part of this would it?

Puzzled uncle made reference to a problem with ticks. As Andy is a former outdoor instructor would he have been able to deal with this situation?

There was an article in the Tele regarding the problems with long grass and ticks. To refresh his memory, ticks should be removed as soon as. May I also inform the writer that age 15 is one of the most important times in a child’s education due to examinations which can decide their career, thus preparing them for adulthood.

I wish Andy happiness with his outdoor activity but also remind him schooling is important too and careers involve more than just outdoor activity.
