Sir, - We took our two children to the St Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin. We got in earlyish, to get a good viewing spot. The spot we picked wasn't bad. But it would have been better if there had been no advertising banners tied to the front of the crush barriers lining the streets on both sides.
You see, my son is about average height for his age - but he still couldn't see over the banners. My back and shoulders are still recovering. And, by the way, the banner directly opposite us had "Irish Times Newspaper" on it! - Is mise,
Dublin 9.
