Pause for Thought ....

... or Letters to the Ed

SIR, On a recent trip to County Mayo, we became hopelessly lost. 
My wife stopped the car and enquired of a young local boy: 'Excuse me, how do you get to Ballina?'.
He replied: 'My cousin takes me.'

SIR, In addition to displaying the price of an item , a local, well-known supermarket also offers, in smaller font, useful information to assist price comparison, such as '42p per 100grms'.
I found myself searching for the best buy in toilet rolls recently, and was somewhat taken aback to read the small print: '34p per 100 shts'.
