From John Clennett. A recent headline (JEP, 21 May) indicated ‘Middle Jersey feels the squeeze’. This is manifestly true as evidenced by people who have fallen on hard times, whether by loss of employment, reduced hours, reduced pay, escalating cost of living, or any other number of reasons related to the economic downturn.

From Bob Hill. ANOTHER Liberation Day has been commemorated and as each year passes there are welcome additions to the official programme of events as the Island rightly seeks not only to remember the dark days of the Occupation but also celebrate the Liberation.

From Terry Connor. SO we are about to be blessed with a brand new bus service.
