• FURTHER to David Duncan’s letter (Stop encouraging mindless vandalism, August 16), a depiction of a steam engine, appropriately adjoining the Roundhouse, has been savagely desecrated by these duffers.

Whenever their rubbish we find
That respect was the theme
In the age of steam
And they all had a tender behind.
