He managed to come up with visiting the opticians and having a haircut.
It’s a pity he didn’t mention the Public Library – an excellent service provided by his own Borough Council.
Incidentally, he doesn’t seem to know much about Local Government in general if he hadn’t realised that such a new measure could not be accommodated within what must already be a very tight existing budget.
From
Mary Neale, Bedford
