Madam, - At the risk of sounding mean and petty, I was struck by the letter from Martin Kinsella discussing the €471 meal at Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud. That would be more than enough to pay one month's salary for my academic registrar, a man in his forties, with a PhD from the US and 10 years' senior administrative experience.
Anyone like to pay his salary for a month? - Yours, etc,
Dr PATRICK DAVEY, Vice Chancellor, Mountains of the Moon University, PO Box 837, Fort Portal, Uganda.
