Your Letters

15:59 UK time, Thursday, 19 July 2007

Belinda from Northampton comments that the 59 people in Britain who are richer than Tom Hunter will be embarrassed (Wednesday's letters). Not a bit - the rich are shameless in their pursuit and retention of personal wealth.
I actually feel that for some it is an addiction like alcoholism and should be treated the same way.
Alan Watkins-Groves, Lincoln

Surely a missed oppurtunity for some mild self-depracating humour in your Paper Monitor column today.
No prizes for guessing which you and I are alluding to.
Bryan, London,England

So ´óÏó´«Ã½ the truth is out about the . After I submitted 100 successful LBQ entries (have I ever mentioned that before?) I always wondered why I never got a keyring. So which one of the production team got my keyring then?
Kip, Norwich, UK

I've got a white Vauxhall . I certainly don't use it as a symbol of wealth, power, or status and it's done nothing for my sex life either.

Even if we accept that Cerne Giant is a site of special interest to Pagans (Wednesday's letters), and even if we accept that Paganism is a 'religion' we ought to have special consideration for, the fact remains that Homer appeared in a field next to the monument, and didn't interfere with the giant himself in any way. I wouldn't expect people to paint on Liverpool Cathedral, but I wouldn't mind if they put on an art exhibition next door...

RE: The Cerne Giant
You're right - I wouldn't expect someone to paint Homer Simpson on Liverpool cathedral (Wednesday's letters), but I think I'd be OK if they decided to paint him on the building next to it, as is the case here.

I'm MJ Simpson! (Monday's letters)
Mr Spartacus, Stockportuppet

Not to be pedantic, but did paper monitor mean "segway" (a motorised two wheeled mode of transport) or "segue" (a musical term meaning to move seamlessly without pause)? I think I prefer the image of PM sedately gliding between news stories on her upright scooter, bowl of porridge in hand and Telegraph tugged under her arm... Sorry, I drifted.

Monitor Note: The Magazine has a for the much-maligned, motorised two-wheeler.
