I TOO thought Eddie Vee was the "loony" candidate for York until I read his brilliant letter (February 7).

We have heard so much drivel recently about dealing with drinking and bad behaviour among the young, when a few stern words - while they are young - from parents who should care what their off-spring are doing would go a long way.

Mr Vee hit the nail on the head.
