Sir, - An unmistakable and fitting testament to the laid back and glaringly easygoing attitude of the Irish people - a digital clock opposite a popular meeting place (the Stephen's Green shopping centre) has been for months, and continues to be, almost 50 minutes fast.
Since it sits in the centre of our capital city, in full view of thousands of passing tourists day in day out, surely somebody could take the initiative to reset this timepiece in order to restore our national pride, if nothing else. - Yours, etc.,
Woodpark, Ballinteer,
Co Dublin.
