Brendan up front

Sir — I wouldn’t miss the Sunday Independent each week, mainly because of Brendan O’Connor’s front-page article. It’s always so simple and very witty and funny. How he thinks of the subjects to write about amazes me.

Last Sunday he wrote about coffee and the Irish craze for it. I must be one of the few who never got into those cardboard coffee cups. I suppose at pushing 70 it just wasn’t my thing and I never took to or ever bought a coffee in a cardboard cup.

It just wouldn’t taste the same as my days in Grafton Street, when Dublin could be heaven with coffee at 11am in Bewley’s and a stroll through Stephen’s Green. Coffee in cardboard cups is not all it’s cracked to be.

However, Brendan, keep writing those great articles as they make me smile and laugh and that’s a good thing for a Sunday morning. Terry Healy, Kill, Co Kildare
