TO increase my personal stress level I recently bought a pair of shoes that are two sizes too small for me and several flickering striplights for all the rooms in my house.

Now that Asda has finished building its supermarket at the Belmont roundabout, I would like to propose the construction of another supermarket at the opposite end of the Greyfriars Bridge.

Should this sound idea go ahead, my fellow Herefordians and I can look forward to another 18 months of chaos and road misery, which has become so normal in the city, that it's difficult to imagine life without it.

If only I could find a 28" Harris Tweed jacket to fit my 42" frame and a faulty lightning conductor for the roof of the house.
