Blanket Legislation
SIR,—In these days we all make our own beds, except, perhaps, Members of Parliament ; otherwise they would surely, by now have effected by legislation—or, more likely, by Order in Council—a reform for which I daily yearn.
Blankets, especially those of the older fashion, carry across each end half a dozen coloured stripes of no value to man or beast. What I earnestly desire is one stripe down the middle of each blanket, so that I may not be obliged to trot to one side of the bed from the other to ensure that it hangs evenly. This would, I reckon, save several seconds per diem and an infinity of irritation.
Do you think, Sir, this could be achieved without nationalising the
industry ?—Yours truly, W. HAMILTON FYFE. 10 St. German's Place, Blackheath, S.E.3.
