I refer to your article regarding Councillor Michael Tickner's promise of "tightening up of procedures immediately" regarding the sickness of Bromley Council staff (News Shopper, July 4). I noticed the word doctor did not appear in his name. I wondered if this was a printing error or a case of flatulence of the mouth from a know-all, know-nothing councillor elected by the few to administer the money.
