This letter is response to article Posh Parkhurst – the ‘it’ place in Joburg published in the week ending 6 June.

For an ‘old duck’ like me, trying to get to the local chemist is a nightmare, as on my last visit I had to walk in the gutters and around cars to get past the ‘non-conformist munchers’.
A mother trying to push her baby in a pram had it even harder.
I also love the continental sidewalk cafe setting, but get it under control Jo, you are breaking the law… oops what law?
