JACK FLETCHER, Chopwell I SEE that Newcastle Airport, sorry, “Newcastle International Airport”, list Vienna as one of their directly served destinations on the map contained on their website.

Before your readers get excited at the prospect of travelling to this impressive imperial city direct from their local airport, can I tell you that on further examination, Vienna is only served directly from DO you ever get the feeling, You’re like a mouse upon a wheel? like when dark morning’s unappealing, for your alarm you blindly feel. Your sleep-filled eyes half opened, as the quilt you gather near. For a fleeting instant hoping, That your day off work was here. But this is merely wishful thinking, as the reality it dawns. That in this game of life so filled with strife, You’re no more that a pawn. No time to lose, or pressing snooze, There’s all sorts needing done. Don’t you just know, you’re up and go, has usually up and gone! There’s traffic jams to work and back, wages frozen, prices rise. That the working life gets hard to hack, is hardly a surprise! Maybe the ones who won’t have graft, have got the whole thing sussed. I sometimes think they’re not so daft, and right to be nonplussed! Yes this modern life leaves many hard-working folk feel really fraught. It’s a “rat trap” out there people, and I think we’ve all been caught! JAMES BRIDGEWOOD. Wallsend
