Maybe there is a shortage of houses for families in Moulsecoomb as well as in the rest of the city, but repossessing mum and dad's home once the children have flown the nest (me, for one) is a damn cheek.

Let's face it, Mr R Rudwick (Letters, November 30), most of these mums and dads pay rent and community charge and look after their homes and gardens.

Maybe you should put your little black book in the bin.
