		Dear Editor, Once upon a time, you would go to a fish restaurant and the fish would be lovely and fresh. Caught in Scottish waters by our fisherman. Then dropped at a port early in the morning and shortly thereafter sold at market for your meal later that day. All common sense. This is the bit the EU is lacking! They have brought in laws that require that the fish landed at Aberdeen or elsewhere in Scotland is sent 600 miles to London, then packaged. Eventually it will reach your plate. Fresh. certainly not! Common sense - out of the window along with the smell of stale fish. Ian Salmoun
		Dear Editor, The Scottish Executive, in an flury of official speak, have solved the problem of paying for an extra bank holiday at a stroke. Simply, they have made it part of the employees current holiday entitlement. This could be bad news for bank, local and national government workers who could be forced to have a bank holiday out of their current holiday entitlement. What a lovely wheeze! Mr MacFinnie, Aberdeen
		Dear Editor, It is a sad reflection of our society these days, that people do not reply to letters. It is even sadder when it is the Scottish Parliament writing to the Scottish Executive. Poor James Reynold acting on the behalf of the Scotsman raised a petition to make the Golden Eagle the national bird of Scotland. The petitions committee wrote to the Scottish Executive on 10th November 2004. But no reply. So on 28th June 2005 they wrote again and there still seems to be no reply. You would have thought the Scottish Executive would talk to the Scottish Parliament or is all this below them? Mrs T MacAlister, South Ayrshire
