´óÏó´«Ã½

Can someone tell me why features on the main ´óÏó´«Ã½ News page? Someone who has got two As at GCSE isn't allowed go to a dance. It's hardly a slow news day and this wouldn't make it to the front page of a low-circulation regional newspaper, so is there something we're not being told? Is she related to someone famous, or it is just that there's a picture of her looking a bit upset in her golden dress?

To Simon Rooke, (Letters, 11 April) - Yes thanks, I have to been to Walsall - quite often, as I actually live there. And I'd like to point out to the cat that he's being misled - the 331 doesn't go to Wolverhampton, it goes from Walsall to Willenhall. So if he's searching for Catutopia in Wolverhampton, I'd recommend catching the 333 instead.

Dear Paper Monitor, Please try not to get too worked up about the good residents of Canford Cliffs. Having walked through this area once or twice, I imagine that a good percentage of them qualify under the new HSBC regulations (and I'm not jealous at all).

I take issue with the suggestion that the Canford Cliffs branch of HSBC is only for the rich. Surely if you have a £200,000 mortgage, you are in fact saddled with a huge debt, which is really not the same as being rich.

Have you been to Canford Cliffs? Don't worry, I can assure you that these measures are purely academic as there is a two-mile poor exclusion zone around the village. They won't even let you park outside the bank unless you're in a Range Rover Sport

Re: . I'm miffed. You recently had a story about monkey DNA and whether apes should have human rights. I commented on this story and mentioned how Cheeta (star of Tarzan) would soon be 75 and, when not watching films with his grandson, paints pictures which are sold to finance primate projects. This comment was never published and yet, a couple of weeks later, he is the subject of Quote of the Day. Could it be that a Magazine researcher checked up on this (by reading the same Wikipedia article I did!) and thought it would make an amusing quote. Come on, guys, play fair. PS. You never publish my Punorama entries either!

In Quote of the Day by Colleen McLoughlin she refers to the cake as only "a bit of sponge". Does that make those cashing in on e-Bay spongers?
