SIR: Now that the criminal element has reached an all-time low at Overdale, would it not be reasonable to suggest we go back to pre 1837 days and practices. I put it to the decent citizens of this borough that as, and when, the culprits of the latest diabolic act are caught and sentenced they be turned over to us for a fixed period, placed in stocks and totally humiliated.
I will willingly hand over some vegetables grown on my allotment to hurl at the scum.
