“Mr Dollar”
Sir, —Mr Moses did not answer my question: how much a week is the “Mr Dollar” nonsense costing the taxpayer in hard cash? If the members of the Decimal Currency Board were in touch with the man in the street instead, of having their heads in the rarefied atmosphere of Cuckoo Cloudland, the usual habitat of bureaucracy, they would know that any businessman astute enough to survice in our “She’s right” 30-hours-work-for 40-hours-pay economy, would be way ahead of them in the matter of dollars and cents. This writer contends that listeners and viewers endtire more than enough from the biscuit blokes, the detergent blokes, the toothpaste blokes, etc., without having their eyeballs outraged 3nd eardrums assaulted night and day by the unnecessary and expensive shrillings of “Mr Dollar.”— Yours, etc., J. DENNEHY. August 19, 1966.
