THE letter from Malcolm Meikle, Leader of Wychavon District Council (You Say, October 25) rather reminds me of the Local Government Hymn.

Look down, Oh Lord, and grant content

To all in Local Government

That we may struggle to comply

With regulations till we die.

Be sure that all who give offence

Will be pursued for recompense,

For this shall be our endless song,

"The customer is always wrong'.

Discretion, tact and commonsense,

Exist for others to dispense

On one thing only we can count

The rules are always paramount.

JOHN HINTON,

Victoria Avenue, Worcester.
