Sir, - The Daily Express journalist Russell Davis is "glad we're losing at the Olympics" (July 24th). The annual (English) derision of the European Song Contest, and now English newspapers (Daily Telegraph, Evening Standard) view of Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance is "cynical and synthetic, only one word for it - embarrassing". Oh dear! Could this possibly have anything to do with the Irish? - Yours etc.,
Corrig Avenue,
Dun Laoghaire.
