WHEN I read the letter by Stephen Taylor in response to mine (Give it a rest over the benches), it made me laugh. A lack of support?

No, it's common sense to take care of yourself when the council can't.

In the past I needed the aid of a wheelchair because of health problems and not once did I rely on anyone to take care of me because they were my problems and mine alone.

It would have been unfair of me to burden anyone else with my problems.

I don't dance around the obvious. I'm direct and I give people common sense advice. If you don't like my advice don't take it.
