Sir, - We said it couldn't/shouldn't be done and we were right!
The final "score": MESSIAH XXI: 00; MESSIAH XVIII: 1742.
Now can we have a refund of our £700,000 out of the gate money for McNamara's Band - money which, like sheep, would appear to have gone astray? - Yours, etc.,
Tony Forde, Skerries, Co Dublin.
