Sir, – Both your supplement and your contributor are mistaken (100 Myles, October 1st, Leslie Daly, October 8th). Having acquired the property from the man himself, I can confirm that Myles lived at No 10 Belmont Avenue.
Raising the matters of a leaking valley and missing ridge tiles, as part of my negotiating strategy, Myles helpfully suggested I take a lease on Buckingham Palace and stop troubling him with minutiae. He also expressed the view that trivia were unworthy of consideration by men like ourselves, quoting the old legal maxim, de minimis non curat lex.
The evidence of his tenure was unmistakable – Irish Times clippings nailed all over the bedroom walls and some empty stout bottles under the bed.
I hope this makes everything clear.
As Myles might say, Roma locuta est. – Yours, etc,
