Madam, - Sinn Féin is again perfectly in-sync with the thinking of all sensible Irish men and women: pillar boxes from our imperialist past should be removed, and now. Anyone who claims that they might possibly possess a certain antiquated charm is obviously just another British stooge.
In Galway, for example, it is impossible to pass one of these pillar boxes without noticing the following order, rendered in wrought iron: Fenian papists must not pass this box without grovelling unashamedly. By Order of HM Government".
As a result of many years of literally bowing and scraping, I have developed a rather distressing repetitive strain injury; indeed, it is not uncommon to see many Galwegians shuffling along the streets, bent double.
Is there anything those nice people in Sinn Féin can do to advise my fellow sufferers and me? - Yours, etc,
KEVIN WHELAN, Salthill, Galway.
