Russian visitors
Sir, — Having just finished viewing the “Mainland Touch,” I was a wee bit disappointed at being informed that a lot of Russians were in town, but not being given the opportunity of actually seeing these people. One can envisage what would happen if 250-odd Americans were to arrive by boat, in all their finery. “Mainland Touch” would be overwhelmed by them. But Russians, oh! no. He's a working bloke. It is about time someone told the well-dressed boys with their soft. hands that most of their audience consists of blokes with calloused hands who would appreciate the sight of their fellow workers, not a good-looking announcer announcing his mate’s birthday; — Yours, etc., P. MARLEY. November 22, 1982.
