Dear Sir/Madam,
TIME FOR A BLESSING?
The Edinburgh Tram Scheme has been beset with so many problems of late that I have even heard it described as "God forsaken".
Now that it has been decided to move (at not inconsiderable expense) the tram currently on display in Princes Street so that the "Popemobile" might not be obscured, perhaps the Holy Father could be persuaded to pause for a few moments and bless the tram and its rails.
It certainly could do no harm and his blessing could well help to restore peace and harmony to the relationship between the tramway's promoters and contractors thus promoting an early opening of the line.

Dear Sir/Madam,
PROHIBITION - NOT MINIMUM PRICING
I have just returned from the Campaign for Real Ale's annual Great British Beer Festival in London to which I was invited in order to see "responsible drinking" being undertaken.
This disgusting experience merely confirmed that making alcohol expensive is not any kind of answer. It cost £10 for admission and another £3 to obtain a glass before a single drop could be sampled. Yet, I could see considerable numbers of people whose consumption had been such that they would not have been legally (and, in several cases, physically) capable of driving a motor vehicle.
Only complete prohibition can save the health and morality of our nation.
