The Tribune

EDITOR, The Tribune. I THOUGHT your article today January 12th under local news "Kinks will be worked out at the New Magistrate's Court" was one of the funnier I have read in a while. The new complex is described as State of the Art but there are no telephones, no security and no office for the prosecutors and presumably other problems as well. The Chief Magistrate says it was not as bad as he expected. It would be interesting to know what he expected - more confusion - no front door, no toilets who knows. That reminds me of the public toilets on Saunders Beach which were also described as State of the Art and caused some merriment at the time. What is a State of the Art toilet? One of the pictures accompanying the article says "Workers pausing for a moment during construction" perhaps says it all. PATRICK H THOMSON Nassau, January 12, 2012.
