YOUR correspondent who unfortunately hides behind a psudonym 'Disgusted Tax and Ratepayer' (last week's Mailbox) was, in the second paragraph of his or her letter, entirely correct.

He or she had interpreted the statement I made incorrectly and was entirely and completely wrong. Consequently the rest of the letter was a complete nonsense.

Thank-you for your helpful and correct footnote.
