Sir, – In Culture Shock (October 26th) Fintan O'Toole refers to Frank McGuinness's The Hanging Gardens, saying, "The house itself is called (somewhat improbably for Buncrana) Babylon". Well, a quick perusal of the local phonebook yielded up one Shangrila and a couple of Mount Carmels. Near the town itself there is a hilly area called Gollan Heights, just next to the Tank Road. Not only that, back in the 1970s we nearly had a park named after Ho Chi Minh! Improbable indeed. – Yours, etc,
