Sir - As a humanist, I am not normally superstitious, but sometimes the facts speak for themselves.
We are cursed by roadworks near Magdalen Bridge taking far longer than might have been hoped. This is obviously the result of not taking down the Christmas decorations by Twelfth Night. If the council were to take them down, the man-hours spent doing it would probably be saved a hundredfold on the man-hours then needed to complete the roadworks.
It might improve the weather too - is it inconceivable that these huge artificial snowflakes may have caused the unseasonable snowfall on February 8?
