Madam, – I laughed wholeheartedly on reading “A true tale about men and stupidity” by Maurice Neligan (HEALTHplus, November 24th).
My own father (on whom Dr Neligan carried out a triple heart by-pass 21 years ago), was left in charge of putting out the bin earlier this year when the daughters took the Higher Authority (Mother) on a girls’ away weekend.
Following a text tip-off from the pet Daughter reminding Da to put the bins out, he immediately replied, “I would rather eat the contents of the bin than admit to the HA that I forgot to put it out!” The power of the bin over grown men! – Yours, etc,
