HAVING read the good news that a York company had secured a multi-million pound contract with the British Army (December 12), I wondered if City of York Council could follow in such enterprising footsteps.

I imagine that the Army would be extremely interested in the Stonebow terror weapon, as this bollard could without doubt be adopted as an effective tank trap to the benefit of our country's security.

Perhaps when the latest victim has paid for the weapons refurbishment, the opportunity should be taken to paint in the number of enemy kills to date, for all to see and be proud of.
