Sir, - Whether or not it was true, it was generally accepted in my Army days in the early 1950s that our tea was laced with bromide to curb the sexual appetites of the licentious soldiery.Nearly 50 years later, I can now confirm that this action has had a palpable effect on my libido and I am preparing my legal case. - Yours, etc.,Peter Evans,Percy Place,Dublin 4.
