Dear Sir,
Many of your readers will be puzzled over our local politicians spending so much of their effort on place names and how to spell them. Last Thursday’s MDB featured their debate over how to spell Paguera, by Friday they’d moved onto renaming the airport. Some months earlier they had devoted their combined wisdom on renaming Palma and removing the titles Duke & Duchess of Palma from the royals.

The Daily B asks the almost rhetorical question "surely there must be something more important" for them to do. There is, but I’d rather have them tied up getting nowhere on this trivia than continuing with their failures like the Soller Tunnel, Marratxi crematorium, Palma metro and their biggest and longest to date – the Palacio de Congresos and hotel.

Re the latter, back in August 2014 I offered readers odds of twenty-to-one on that the work would not be completed on the scheduled time of December that same year. Now almost two years later I believe I could offer the same odds again and still turn up trumps. God forbid if they are allowed to manage the airport.
