Sir, - The best pantomime in town? Bray Urban District Council, whose cast of Baron Hard-up, Lord Stoney-broke, Idle Jack etc., have given us all a huge laugh by deciding not to collect our rubbish any more. Even funnier, they have made no announcement about it, leaving us to find out from the local paper!

And the best joke of all? They've given us only till December 31st to make alternative arrangements! Yes, in Bray we're laughing our heads off - we must have the only council in Ireland that is celebrating the year 2000 by crawling backwards into the 19th century. - Yours, etc., Frances Brown,
