With regards to . Apparently life expectancy has risen by 3.7 years for women. However this statistic is given no context - what was life expectancy in 1981 for women and what is it now? And surely, the number of noise complaints does not always suggest that Britain has got noisier; just more ready to grumble. Sort it out ´óÏó´«Ã½.

The magazine article says 50% more young men live at home than women. Surely all young men and women live at home? That's pretty much what the word "home" means.

The new suggesting that "teachers should praise pupils five times more than they criticise them" is a great idea and an ideal preparation for life. I've noticed how my bank manager writes to me praising my prudent financial management far more often than he demands money. And the nightshift charge-hand at the factory is forever telling me I'm doing a super job and only rarely calls me an idle git.

Regarding the cat who caught the bus, the story isn't very clear about how the cat gets home again full of it's fish supper. Are we sure it's the same cat and not some form of escape plan by all the white cats in Walsall? Have you ever been to Walsall! Mind you is Wolverhampton the moggie promised land?

Excuse me, do I live in another country than you lot? The Daily Star and the Express go on about "sweltering" weather, while I've been freezing my nadgers off in Ravenglass today (cloudy, 12C, maybe).

Re: . Come on ´óÏó´«Ã½ - surely this story deserved a better photo!

Re: . Another candidate for things we already knew last week.

Actually, A Reader , you should be very interested in my opinion on lifts, as i am the Lift Tsar and could take away your lift at any point.
I'm distraught! Tuesday's letters are nowhere to be seen and there is not even a mention of gremlins in Wednesday's Monitor. Could it be that PM has taken the concerns of A Reader seriously and decided to remove "drivel" from his/her pages? Please don't get rid of my afternoon treat, bring back the letters!

They're back, after a slight hiccup on Tuesday. Do you think the likes of A Reader can keep Magazine Monitor down? Never.
