Some advice on natural gas

Sir, – You reached a new low in the "Ask Roe McDermott" advice to the woman who suffers from flatulence during the most intimate moments with her partner (December 23rd).

This type of content belongs in a trashy women’s magazine rather than a family newspaper. All the advice the unfortunately windy woman needed was to stop eating raw onions! – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Blimey, there’s a column I didn’t expect to read in the paper of record two days before Christmas.

Good for you. Notwithstanding the reference to James Joyce, I thought it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever read, although I’m not sure that was the intention. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I live abroad and am an online subscriber. Does that really mean I have to confront this sort of rubbish when I open the IT app? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I might suggest that a reduction in the consumption of Brussels sprouts might help the woman who has the unfortunate experience of producing flatulence during intimate moments with her loved one. – Yours, etc,
