Sir, - My wife and I are just back from a week's visit to Germany. We made two observations that relate to Ireland:
1. In Germany the motorists honk at you if you break the traffic laws, but in Ireland they honk at you if you obey them.
2. Cork city has a much higher percentage of blondes than Germany. - Yours, etc.,
