Madam, - Middle age is a terrible thing. I turned 35 last month and suddenly a whole host of things seem to annoy me. Chief among these at the moment is graffiti, to which I was once almost oblivious. All of a sudden it seems to be everywhere.
I would like to be reassured that this is part of the natural ageing process, but I would also like to suggest something practical. Could the owners of hardware shops please ask young people why they are purchasing aerosols?
If it's for a school project, check with the school. If it's for a parent, explain that the parent must purchase it. If it's not for either of these purposes, then send them packing. - Yours, etc,
PAUL HYLAND, Manor Grove, Kimmage, Dublin 12.
