To the bemused people consulting Google, the heading to my letter (April 9) should have read ‘Fanariphobic vision’. Fanariphobia is a fear of traffic lights. Along with pertussis, and now measles, there are too many unfortunate outbreaks in this Shire – all with the potential for tragic outcomes. There is no vaccine but an effective therapy was recommended by a recent correspondent:
‘Liz, NOW I understand the Clifford Steet exit hoo-ha, having lined up for some time today then risked shooting out and turning right, dodging fast traffic to and from Byron, Whew!
Then came home and read your great letter in The Echo. I can only shake my head at the incompetence and lack of care by Byron Shire Council.
PS what is faraniphobic vision? Google doesn’t know.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
