Reply to Dr M Boyask BDS attack on Gary

I would like to offer Dr Boyask (letters October 17) an alternative parable.
Once upon a time three neighbours all bought chairs from their local garden.centre. The chairs were natural, made of good quality, well chosen, wood. The salesman offered them a special chair restorer compound guaranteed to make their chairs stronger
The first neighbour refused the special treatment but his chair was used carefully and lasted many years before eventually becoming worn and unsafe.
His neighbour bought the chair restorer mixture and painted his chair with it carefully, every day.
The chair did seem to be slightly sturdier than his neighbours’, although the colour became a bit patchy after a time. However, the chair restorer did not live up to the great advertised benefits. Also, he discovered, it was very poisonous .and he could not let the mixture get into the ground.
The third neighbour decided to buy the chair restorer’s active ingredient direct from the manufacturers. They were glad to be rid of it as it had been classified as a hazardous industrial waste. He contracted to buy a tanker full every week, and used a pump to spray his chair. Then he sprayed the garden. Then he filled the bath. More than 98 per cent was wasted. The plants began to die. And the chair, after a time, become discoloured, then brittle and broke.
Finally, he became a public relations consultant and set about convincing the whole nation it should get rid of its pure drinking water and drink chair restorer instead.
