IN light of the recent outbreak of E coli at petting farms, some parents are understandably concerned about the risks to children from household pets. While the recently reported cases have been contracted from farm animals, E coli are part of the normal bacteria found in a pet's intestine. Pets may not show any symptoms but can pass on the bacteria to people - if good hygiene is not observed.

SOME things about the national political scene and news agenda haven't changed in years. It's still the case, for example, that the leader of the Liberal Democrats has the cushiest/most pointless/most frustrating (depending on your point of view) job in the country - because, whatever he says or does, he's never going to find himself in the No. 10 hot seat.

Sad at Shop Closure ; You Say Email:Letters@Liverpoolecho.Co.Uk

YES, I share the local sadness at the closure of Tutill-Nicol, as a regular customer who admired the friendly and helpful staff and was impressed by the range of its wares.

Bring Dock to Life ; You Say Email:Letters@Liverpoolecho.Co.Uk

Just how many people, do you think, have stood at the railings and imagined it as a bustling and lively dockside, with all the accompanying sights, sounds and smells? I paid a visit to Chatham Historic Dockyard Museum some years ago and was amazed at how realistic the presentation of the boat-building was.

Bring Back Trams ; You Say Email:Letters@Liverpoolecho.Co.Uk

I WAS reading in the Liverpool ECHO the other week about talks to set up a new tram network around the city. I think it would do the city good to have them around again.

Thanks for Your Care ; You Say Email:Letters@Liverpoolecho.Co.Uk

IT is not hard to notice the very negative press that is so often associated with the present-day NHS nursing care. My mother has been a patient at Arrowe Park hospital on numerous occasions and in various departments on countless wards. Not all of these have been necessarily good examples of patient management.

I'VE just read the page on Ricky Tomlinson's heroes. He was right when he said the talent in Liverpool is second to none.
