Change name of Pork Pie island? No, no, no!

ANOTHER Leicester landmark under threat. For goodness sake, just leave it alone.

REGARDING changing the name of our beloved Pork Pie Roundabout.

I was brought up on the Saffron Lane Estate from the age of four until I left at the age of 18.

My fondest memories are of going to the library on Pork Pie Roundabout, which has been and will always be fondly known just as it was christened all those years ago.

Not everyone is a vegan. So how should these do-gooders who have probably never set foot on the Saffron Lane Estate have the nerve to insist it changes the name to Vegan Pie Roundabout?

WHY oh why do we have to kowtow to the veganites?

The Pork Pie Library has been there since ever – why does it have to change now just to satisfy some people who live on veg? Nothing against that, but why change local history, yet again?

Val Sturgess, Uppingham

ISN’T it amazing how simply the name of a geographical feature or landmark can trigger negative behaviours in people?

Clearly, just the name Pork Pie Roundabout encourages youngsters to feast on that calorie-rich Leicestershire treat, causing young tummies to bulge unhealthily and, of course, we all know how popular the aforesaid fatty comestible is with our younger generation compared to, say, McDonald’s or Krispy Kreme donuts.

Heaven knows why they have not changed the name of Cheddar Gorge by now.

CHANGE the Pork Pie roundabout to a vegan name!? Who in God’s name had this pathetic idea? Get a life and leave these landmarks alone. What are these people thinking? Grow up!

SADLY, Leicester appears to be building a fast-food fried chicken takeaway heritage.

Peta would be better placed not worrying about a roundabout named after the shape of a library but targeting both the prevention of animal cruelty and the promotion of healthy eating.

A letter to the city mayor requesting a cap on the number of fried chicken takeaway licences would kill two birds with one stone (poor choice but I couldn’t help myself ).
