IT WAS wonderful to see the pictures in last week's Uxbridge Gazette of the water feature at Ruislip Lido.

The accompanying notes should, I feel, have paid tribute to the Friends of Ruislip Lido committee member, David Seaman, whose idea it was and who almost single-handedly pushed the project through to a successful completion, overcoming innumerable impediments, including my own lack of interest.
