'Letters to the Editor'
Dear Editor, Well at long last we now have a new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown from Fife. I cannot remember the last time this country had a Prime Minister who was born and bred in Scotland but at my age my memory is not all it used to be. Let's hope that Britain can now move forward and succeed to the extent that the word Great can be put back in it's rightful place.

Dear Editor, All this talk about Poll Tax, Community Tax and any other Council Tax is easily resolved by replacing it with a title ommitting the word TAX. We all shudder when hearing the word tax in any context and I think people would feel more comfortable with a discription title of perhaps 'Community Rates' afterall, we did not complain when we used to pay 'Rates'.

Dear Editor, It is a shame that all the members of the Scottish Parliament cannot agree on fundamental things like trying to improve transport issues in Edinburgh. A tram system would be nice but is it necessary, afterall, we do need new school buildings, improved road surfaces and another crossing from the coast of Fife to Edinburgh. The Parliament should be making sure the Scottish people get 'value for money' when spending it's coffers and along with this follow good sense.
