Sir, - In "Asia Letter" (February 15th) Conor O'Clery tells us that for a kitchen hand in Hong Kong, £900 a month is a fraction of the salary. Before all our catering staff in Ireland take off for Hong Kong I'd like to warn them that the fraction is likely to be three quarters. - Yours, etc., Bosco Keown,
St Mary's Villas, Drogheda.
