MR Barnes from Tadcaster is obviously a little hot under the collar about myself and Mr Green daring to speak out in favour of parking charges etc (Letters, May 11).
He even goes as far as to proclaim that we are foolish, imbeciles, insane and lunatics, if that what his term "idiocy" translates as.
I can assure Mr Barnes I am far from any of those.
His thrice-weekly jaunt into York for an hour's shopping has stopped because of not being able to park for free in Micklegate or Priory Street.
His summer bowls match with former workmates in South Bank is also in jeopardy because of Royal Ascot. Read the papers, Mr Barnes, Ascot is for a week not the whole summer.
Mr Barnes claims the council, myself and Mr Green have colluded to end his trading in York.
If you think like that after claiming you spend three hours a week in the city, you wont be missed and the tills in York's shops are certainly not going to break down at the prospect of your money going to Wakefield instead.
PR Willey,
Burnholme Drive,
York.
