Unhappy visitor should be sent to Coventry

I REFER to the insulting letter headlined ‘Profiteers and puritans ruining the Republic’ from Chris Clegg of Lancashire (Irish Examiner, August 7).

Mr Clegg says he will be boycotting us for the foreseeable future because he could not smoke in our hostelries, his B&B was overpriced, and that he was ripped off. Mr Clegg, please make it a permanent boycott.

Recently I was in England en route to the continent. I stayed in a hotel in Coventry. It was expensive, the food was cold and poor, and the staff were unfriendly.
