Sir, - Although An Irishman's Diary (August 22nd), was excellent, I think Kevin Myers omitted one very important fact when outlining the States attitude to men; that a 17-year-old woman can, while holding a provisional licence, get insured on a car for less money than a 23-year-old man with a full licence and five years driving experience - Yours, etc.
