I WONDER how many people in South Lanarkshire are running around mad, wondering whether they have thrown away the winning Lottery ticket with the £1m prize (Evening Times, May 24).

Rather than have thousands of people worrying about it, could the Lottery organisers not be a little more specific and tell us where the ticket was bought, or even the town?

My wife will have me lifting the carpets next!

Trumped up row

I DON'T like the fact that Scotland appears to be smothered in wind turbines.

However, I like it even less when golf courses and garishly-clad players of the game interrupt my view of a Site of Special Scientific Interest on a previously unspoilt stretch of the Scottish coast.

To which department of the US government should I complain about the antics of Mr Trump?

See the light

Rather than complain about the inflated bill from their factor for repairing a close light (Evening Times, April 25), would it not have saved time, and money, for Dionne Moran or her man to have simply changed the buld themselves?

As Dionne says: "To change a light bulb takes three minutes."

If people took more responsibility for the their own homes, we could soon put the rip-off factors out of business.

Our close is self-factored and everything runs very smoothly.

Singer sew good

I LOVED your Memories page picture on Wednesday. I'm still using my mum's old treadle-powered Singer sewing machine, which must be at least 90-years-old.

I learned to sew at school, and at home, and it stood me in good stead. I even made my own wedding dress (the material cost £25).

Even though, much like myself, the Singer is now a bit creaky and cranky, I can still sew a straight seam, make a buttonhole and do minor alterations on it.
