Sir, – One of my childhood Christmas Day memories was listening to the scraping sound of an enamel dish being pushed around our back yard. Our springer spaniel having devoured most of her Christmas dinner gave said enamel dish an extra push to ensure nothing was left behind.
Nothing that is except the three items that she had licked clean but refused to eat every year. I suppose that, like myself, Lassie didn’t care much for Brussels sprouts either. – Yours, etc,
HILARY CORCORAN,
Sligo.
