The Telegraph & Argus: News from across the Bradford district

An early obituary!

8:11am Friday 19th March 2010

SIR – Re the letter from Terry Tordoff (March 15), I do feel he has written the obituary of the SLR camera a little before its actual demise because SLR photography is alive and in rude health in the form of the DIGITAL SLR. It is true, as he writes, that anyone can “point a mobile phone and get reasonable images” but, of course, that is hardly the point, as I feel sure Terry already knows.

Pleasure to be had

8:12am Friday 19th March 2010

SIR – Re the letter from Terry Tordoff (March 15). As one of the fools who “points a digital camera in a general direction to obtain a reasonable picture”, all I can say is, what’s wrong with that?

A taxing situation

8:12am Friday 19th March 2010

SIR – The Government and the other (EU) coalition parties haven’t even sorted out their expenses scandal yet and we have another scandal brewing!

Something to cherish

8:13am Friday 19th March 2010

SIR – I very much reinforce the comments of Jack MacPherson and John Cook regarding Yorkshire Forward’s appalling lack of interest in maintaining the fabric of the former Odeon.

Cancer support

8:14am Friday 19th March 2010

SIR – In the T&A (March 16) Maureen Rutter, of Macmillan Cancer Support, said that hundreds of thousands of pounds of disability benefits were going unclaimed in Bradford by terminally-ill cancer patients.

Build a car park

8:15am Friday 19th March 2010

SIR – As a born-and-bred Bradfordian, it is annoying to hear “we are going shopping in Leeds”. How do we entice people at large to come and shop in Bradford?

The digital camera is a logical advance

8:10am Friday 19th March 2010

SIR – Terry Tordoff (Letters, March 15) has perhaps missed the importance of digital image capture to photography.

First-class doctor

8:10am Thursday 18th March 2010

SIR – Is there some kind of award given to doctors, as I believe Dr M Scarland deserves an award. He is my doctor at the Woodroyd Centre, in Woodroyd Road, Bradford. He is a genius, with such a gentle bedside manner. He has a sixth sense.

Shame on Council

8:01am Thursday 18th March 2010

SIR – John Cook is quite right to highlight (Letters, March 6) the disgraceful state that Yorkshire Forward has allowed the Odeon cinema building to fall into.

It beggars belief

8:01am Thursday 18th March 2010

SIR – The letter from John Cook (March 6) is very correct and we endorse it completely. Bradford Odeon Rescue Group advised Yorkshire Forward on the internal roof water downpipes, which flood completely the upper floor on the Princess Way elevation.
