Sir, - I am the elderly woman of 56 who recently on this page described the urge to dye my hair, upon being offered a seat on the DART (June 5th).
Yesterday, as I sat alongside my 98-year-old father in the casualty department of St Vincent's Hospital, a young nurse enquired if I was his wife. She will never know how close she was to becoming a stretcher-case on her own ward.
I am writing this in the local hair-dressing salon; I have chosen "Auburn Glow". - Yours, etc.
