'Letters to the Editor'
Dear Editor, Last Saturday I had the priviledge to attend the ice show 'Peter Pan on Ice' at Ingleston, Edinburgh. This spectacular show was enjoyed by many children in the audience along with their parents, however, one important item of any show, the Programme, was missing. On entering the venue, members of the audience were ushered to their seats rather hastily without the opportunity to make this purchsase. During the interval I discovered the organisers had not provided sufficient copies for sale. Oh well this is one outing I will remember too well for the wrong reasons.

Dear Editor, This year is the first time I have been asked to complete a Self Assessment Tax Return, what a carry on. When you think about the cost to the Inland Revenue for the printing of the instruction booklet, the tax return and the tax calculation form no wonder the Treasury are short of cash. This, along with staff salaries for checking the forms must drain the treasury purse. I suggest that self assessment in this format is abolished.

Dear Editor, We are getting closer and closer to the May election day when we in Scotland vote for our member of the Scottish Parliament and local council representatives. The new system now in place for the local council elections is still a mystery to many people. Will this result in electing people by default due to ignorance, putting the electorate off by being faced with a document so full of names the person top of the list will be elected or will we really get a true picture of politics in Scotland?
Mrs Kate Litster, Fife.
