WHAT a fine picture our ex-Lord Mayor makes in the press (May 25 and above ). Congratulations to the photographer.

Janet Looker is a lady who has done a great job in the last 12 months. How sad that Mr Hallas thinks it necessary to criticise her for wearing practical clothes. In my book a true gentleman does not make adverse comments about alady's clothing. In this context if you do not believe in freedom, what are the alternatives? Tyranny?
