Sir, – Further to Mae Leonard's Irishwoman's Diary ("First day at school", August 31st), how many mothers were embarrassed by their precocious children? Mine certainly was – by me – on the Belturbet to Cavan bus over 70 years ago. Thank you, Mae, for reminding me.
I certainly do not shout my age now – my bus pass does it for me. – Yours, etc,
ITA McCORMACK,
