SIR,—I would suggest courteously to Mr. Bernard B. Sykes (after

the somewhat jackboot tone of his letter) that he is a fathead. I cannot agree that modern traffic needs a new Albert Bridge, though it probably wants one.

I picture Mr. Sykes as one of those persons who choose to spend their Sunday afternoons at the feet of their evil-smelling modern motor vehicle, 'picnicking' in a queue of similar vehicles, along the edge of some evil-smelling arterial road out of London. He no doubt regards this as one of the amenities of traffic. I wonder what adorns the walls of Mr. Sykes's chambre a coucher—or perhaps he sleeps in the garage?
