Madam, - For the first time that I can recall, The Irish Times did not forewarn me on the front page that Summer Time was ending. My plans for Sunday were confused utterly. Please don't let it happen again; some of us readers rely on you for guidance. - Yours, etc,
DAVID R NEARY, Waterloo Road, Dublin 4.
Madam, - You obviously left the clock (and the calendar) behind you in the great move from D'Olier Street. Let's hope the clock soon follows you to Tara Street, and will help you to be more grounded in the realities of Irish life, as the paper was in former days.
Theodora FitzGibbon, for instance, was very down to earth despite her exotic-sounding name, and at this time of the year she would undoubtedly be offering recipes for colcannon and apple cake. What did we get last Saturday? Sushi! Sign of the times? - Yours, etc,
CATHERINE A SHAW, Clonmel, Co Tipperary.
The oversight is regretted.
- Ed., IT.
