Last Sunday this newspaper carried an advert by the organisers of the Valletta Classic Car Grand Prix thanking everyone and apologising to the Valletta business community and the residents of Valletta for the inconvenience and therefore loss of revenue caused during the event.

On behalf of my employees and my family as residents, we thank the organisers for the apology. Also, as added in the advert, next year they are making sure it will not fall on Mother's Day.

It takes great men to recognise and rectify their mistakes, something the Valletta mayor, Alexei Dingli, is falling short of in this event, being the person responsible logistically for the city.

Do we smell another politician?
