Madam, – What century does Alan O’Riordan (“Undressing the Irish male”, Life Culture, February 21st) think he’s living in? Handmade, elegant Oxfords and a sleek, black, wooden-handled umbrella in a hand with a sharp show of cuff?
I do hope that’s not how he dressed for the France-Ireland match. If he did, he’s lucky his track-suited, can-swigging compatriots on the Eurostar didn’t undress him! – Yours, etc,
