Ladyboys and Leitrim: too close for comfort

Sir, – You may wish to rethink the relative positioning of Michael Harding's excellent columns and the "Tell me about it " agony aunt column every Tuesday.

Michael’s beautiful elegy this week for the passing of a bachelor neighbour on a remote hillside did not sit well beside some unfortunate’s obsession with Thai ladyboys.

The shift from Leitrim countryside to the sordid side of Bangkok was just too sudden and radical for this gentle reader. – Yours, etc, JOHN O’DWYER Naas, Co Kildare.
