MAY I point out to N Forrest (Letters, February 1), the objective of my remarks (Letters, January 26) was to highlight the dangers of crossing the road at Four Lane Ends, Blackburn and, hopefully, see some safety measures implemented in the near future?

Perhaps Mr Forrest would look up 'taxi'" in the Collins English Dictionary and see that I meant 'vehicle for hire with a driver' before raising such a trivial point.
