Letters to the Editor August 31st: Back to the office childcare issues, inheritance tax and Brent geese living the dream

The article presents three letters to the editor discussing various social and economic issues. The first letter addresses the challenges faced by dual-income households due to 'anchor days', mandatory workdays requiring employees to be present in the office. This creates difficulties for one partner, typically women, who must manage both work and domestic responsibilities, impacting their career advancement. The second letter comments on the use of car horns, advocating for quieter urban environments and suggesting that car horns should not disturb residents. The third letter discusses the complexity of public-sector pay negotiations, noting that despite extensive processes, public-service pay has generally kept pace with inflation. The author suggests adopting automatic wage adjustments based on inflation to simplify future negotiations.
