'Letters to the Editor'

Dear Editor, Scotland must be a wealthy place to be especially if you are in the construction industry. New Tolls erected at the Forth Road Bridge £6m then dismantled within two years for another £2.5m. We also have the Edinburgh Tram line being constructed and eventually operated at a cost of some £600m. Is someone printing money in their basement? I cannot understand the logic of all of this when the roads need repaired to fill in the potholes and those humps we encounter on the roads which are meant to slow us down while driving in certain areas, wreck our cars. Ah! it has just dawned on me, we wreck our cars on the road which means we must use the trams while in Edinburgh (no car to use anywhere else) so we use the trams in Edinburgh and spend our hard earned cash in the city. Is this Logical?

Scottish Parliament

Dear Editor, It is with concern that I see that Alex Salmond SNP is off to the USA on a happy jaunt at the tax payers expense. Is this necessary when there is so much poverty in Scotland? It is time for a new and better way of managing Scotland’s government.

Ten pound note

Dear Editor, How to become a £¾ millionaire - That is easy, just become the Chief Executive of a Bank. If the bank fails encourage the new owners to relieve you of your duties. Surely this could not happen. That is to receive £750,000 just for that? Well would you believe that is exactly what happened to the Chief executive of Northern Rock, Alan Appelgarth. Well done Alan. I wonder if your other readers think this is enough? Well if they don’t I forgot to mention that his pension fund has been increased to £2.6m, just in case. Not to mention £10,000 for new security features on his home and of course his subsidised mortgage. Look forward to any comments from your readers.
