No sooner had I read Charles Goode's letter (Opinion, March 26) about the George Street work beginning at the wrong end than I was walking along it to go for lunch - and found a drill had gone through a main, creating a steady stream down that incline and leaving shops without water.
Blow me down - an hour or so later, there was a strong smell of gas. As one shopkeeper put it: "At this rate, the electricity will be out by teatime."
Shambles is hardly the word for it. I think the cage must be to protect the "workers" from outraged shoppers and those ever-ferocious traders.
