The night buses

I ride the N4 home after a late shift three nights a week. Please tell the council that the buses are not a luxury. Before April I was paying £14 for a taxi I could not afford. Now I pay £2 and I sleep on the way home. (Name supplied, Fiveways)

The gasworks

The gas holder is the ugliest object in Port Avery and I have looked at it from my kitchen for thirty-one years. Keeping it as a "heritage feature" is like framing a scar. (Doreen Lyle, Foundry Lane)

I disagree with the letter you will no doubt print from Foundry Lane. The holder is the only thing on that side of the river that anyone could draw from memory. (Tom Ashworth, Mill Lane)

The sourdough

Your piece on the corner-shop sourdough did not mention the price. £4.50 is a lot for a loaf. It is very good bread. It is still a lot. (R. Hosking, Alder Road)
