Priority is not a priority for many on the buses
£25 STAR LETTER
On priority seating, these signs on buses saying “please off these seats to passengers with reduced mobility” are ignored.
All ages dive in to these seat and ignore the notice, even when elderly or disabled persons come on to the buses. Can they not read? Mary Scott, Cambuslang
Get real
I strongly disagreed with the Your View lead letter saying, “if this is prison, then lock me up” about Scotland’s new jail.
The government obviously want to turn out decent, lawabiding citizens so all our prisons should be clean, comfortable and modern. Sadly there are a great many people who would rather prison was only about revenge and not rehabilitation.
We should lock the critics up and give them a little taste of what prison is really like. It’s the only way to get through to them.
Phyllis Robertson, Cowdenbeath Labour pain
So Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell refers to Westminster as “the English Parliament” and says Labour will let Nicola Sturgeon hold indyref2 whenever she wishes. Since when did the UK Labour Party become a recruiting sergeant for the SNP’s raison d’etre? And when did the UK Labour Party decide to support the break up of the UK?
Martin Redfern, Edinburgh Fee will
I have just received my TV licence, whoopee! I know the government has a lot to do with charging the over-75s for a licence but I want to know what BBC chief Lord Hall is on.
My income is just over £500 a month to pay for food, council tax and other incidentals.
How dare the BBC and government ask people like myself to pay for our licence. What a sorry mess this whole government is in at the moment. They couldn’t even track an elephant in the snow.
Patricia Erskine, West Calder Thank you
I would just like to give one very big thank you to all the staff at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, especially level eight, ward C.
The hospital has been at the centre of a lot of stories since opening but I was in for my fourth operation for cancer tumours, and the care and attention I got was second to none.
Hugh MacPhail, Duntocher Gag reflex
Just read that page of jokes. Could you please tell me when to laugh? Do people actually pay to listen to that rubbish?
J Burrell, Fife Kicking off
I like football as much as anyone but I can’t believe the new season has started. It feels about two seconds since the last one finished.
Michael Robson, Airdrie Ad-diction
I loved the feature on the classic adverts that have appeared in The Sunday Post. Back in the 1960s, I knew the woman who created the deathless slogan “Mothaks make a myth out of moths”.
She entered a competition to invent an advert for the manufacturer of moth repellents, winning a postal order for the princely sum of five shillings. She said she often wondered how muchrevenueher slogan had earned the company. Mary Cook, Lincs
