In response to Jennifer McCarey Points of View referring to St Aloysius' College, in last Friday's Evening Times, the writer gave a very insular and one-sided view of the college in their description of school's impact on the Garnethill area and the city.

As a parent of a pupil at the college, I am working class and most certainly not within this writer's 'rich' category, but have struggled and sacrificed every day to send my children to the college by choice.

I would never make assumption about the background or family of any child of school age in light of the blazer they wear. This inverted view that St Aloysius is an 'elitist' or 'rich-serving' institution is utter nonsense. As a Jesuit run Catholic school, the college accepts and welcomes children of all backgrounds and faiths, irrespective of their family's financial circumstance.

I see that First Bus has been shortlisted for the "public transporter of the year" award. Who are they trying to kid. It is obvious that none of top people there have ever used it. Ask the majority of drivers a question and you get nothing but a load of cheek from them. So I would like to know who put them forward for this award. Must be somebody who rarely uses the bus.

So MPs can go into retirement with a job in the lords and receive a daily rate of £300. What a racket - turn up go to sleep then after a community siesta pocket £300 without lifting a finger. If you have the hard neck to turn up every day and repeat the scenario you and your pals can each lodge £1500 a week into your HSBC account.....oh the world is most definitely ill divided.

I think it would be a wonderful idea to suggest to Councillor Gordon Matheson that the 78 other councillors to litter pick a well known area in Glasgow.

The Golden Z comprising of Argyle Street, Sauchiehall Street and Buchanan Street would be an ideal start and this would show if councilllors do really care about City of Glasgow.
