SIR - I was amused to read in Court File (T&A, January 19) that a man had been given 41 hours unpaid work for breach of a community order.

Why such an odd amount, couldn't it have been rounded up, if only for practical purposes?

Nothing like a little judicious levity.

Incidentally it took me all of four minutes to compose this letter or to be more exact three minutes 59 seconds.
