IT was always a cert that these call centres would close as soon as things got tight or it got cheaper to do it abroad (250 jobs to go as RBS axes two city call centres, September 9).

Redeployed? To Edinburgh? On call centre wages?

That's just PR fluff from the management to make it look like they aren't really binning 250 people.

It won't even be worth going to Greenock on those wages. BH, Glasgow Criticism isn't bullying

I'VE worked in both the public and private sector and have had to put up with rude people, both staff and customers, but I never bleated about bullying.

Don't get me wrong, I know there are bullies in every place of work, but I don't see it as being at the levels stated in this article (40% of council workers suffer bullying attacks, September 8).

It seems that we pander to people who are over sensitive to any criticism of their failing to carry out work correctly and in turn they use the catch all of bullying to deflect attention from their own failings. MAXI, Glasgow Floodlight Clyde crane

IF they want to floodlight an iconic Glasgow landmark, then why not choose the Finnieston Crane (Towers to be bathed in light, September 8)?

It looks a lot better than a couple of concrete water towers in the middle of a housing scheme. Name and address supplied We've lots to offer

WHAT a great idea the campaign is to attract tourists to Renfrewshire (Campaign aims to boost tourism revenue by £3m, September 8) - it will create jobs and opportunities.

Renfrewshire has a great deal to offer visitors and this campaign will bring in lots of new tourists to the area.

Well done to those who have the vision and energy to make it happen. JOHNJO, Glasgow Racing back for run

THE Great Scottish Run was a great day out.

I was the one doing the 10K in my desert combats, and boots. I walked round in one hour and 39 mins, so a job well done.

My brother did the half marathon in just over two hours, well done. We'll be back next year. MBAM38, Preston Bumpy road ahead

I AM all for campaigns to reduce road fatalities (Motorists urged to Go Safe, September 9).

All I ask is that if they decide to add more speed bumps that they insure drivers can pass over them at the posted speed limit without damaging their vehicles - unlike the poorly fitted bumps installed in Pollok, Barrhead and Paisley. CANNYSCOT, Glasgow Diageo has no loyalty

I'M disgusted that Diageo has ignored the plan from the Scottish Government and decided to go ahead with its planned cut jobs.

I wonder if the company ever had any intention of considering the proposals that were made to bosses?

Loyalty from staff and customers obviously means nothing to Diageo. Name and address supplied Cut overseas card fees

I FOR one am hugely relieved overdraft fees are being cut by RBS (Overdraft fees cut welcomed, September 8).

It's about time and I hope other banks follow suit.

I would also like other firms to take action to cut the high fees customers face when using their credit or debit cards abroad. It's just ridiculous the amount you have to pay in extra charges.

HOT TOPIC: Bollards are no barrier to terrorist attack

IS there any evidence that the Subway is at risk from terrorist ram raiders?

Surely any terrorist with just half a brain would see the security lapses in our Subway system a mile off. PEOPLE POWER, Glasgow Too little, too late

ANOTHER waste of money.

Let's face it, 10 years ago the idea that you could hijack a plane and smash it into the side of a skyscraper would have sounded positively absurd. As was ramming a car full of gas cylinders into an airport building.

My point is that terrorists will always find new and ingenious ways to catch us out. London isn't fitting these bollards outside every Tube station is it, and you'd think it would be a lot more vulnerable. RAPIDASSISTANT, Glasgow What a waste of money

I AM a regular Subway user and I have to say that the person(s) on the management team of the SPT responsible for ordering and installing these bollards are nothing short of inept - an embarrassment to Glasgow and culpable wasters of farepayers' and taxpayers' money. NEWGOLDDREAM, Glasgow Escalator navigator

IT would take quite a terror group to drive a car down the escalators. SUBWAY USER, Hillhead Priorities are all wrong

THE Glasgow Airport attack happened in June 2007.

It takes until October 2008 for the SPT to approve this terrorist counter measure.

Then it's another 11 months to actually get something done - by which time the threat is reduced.

That sums up the SPT!

Meanwhile the number of passengers using the Subway drops - £271,000 would have paid for a six-month extended hours trial period. BILL FORBES, Cambuslang Closed to everyone

THE priority should be extending the Subway's opening hours. SWEENATO, Bishopbriggs It's an obstacle course

GETTING off at Kinning Park I walked into one of these new bollards. They are yet another annoying piece of street furniture that will cause injury to the visually impaired. PEPSIBARKER, Glasgow
