Madam, - A new way of ending a telephone conversation has crept in. It goes something like this: "Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye" - spoken at speed, and filtering out to the click of the phone being hung up before you have a chance to reply, leaving a feeling of extreme irritation.
Where did this come from? - Yours, etc,
ANNA BAKER, Sandycove, Kinsale, Co Cork.
