Good job the caption comp isn't back, because the first thing that popped into my mind was "Errr...is one looking at me? Is one? Is one looking at me?..."
Rob McKay, Banbury, UK

Re If only the Caption Competition was back. "Go ahead, Witchell. Make my day."
Dave Godfrey, Swindon, UK

If only there was still a caption competion, my immediate thoughts were that Charles was going to new levels to gain the throne.
Marie, Sheffield

I know I run the dual risks of being either (a) cretinously wrong, or (b) a pedantic twerp, but should the (wholly justifiable) lament not read "If only the Caption Competition were back (pt7)"?
Neil Franklin, Chandlers Ford, UK

Monitor: This has been changed pending further pedantry.

I think we need a new flexicon entry for things which eerily resemble contests, but are definitely not in fact contests. I suggest "nontest". Which, incidentally, is an anagram of "ten tons".
Paul T, Manchester

Re with the unhelpful sat nav - what a prophetic name for the cab firm.
Sarah, Farnham, Surrey

Am I the only one that thinks that the makes him look like Jim Hacker?
Nick C, Egham, UK

Another anagram of interrobangs, (Wednesday's letters, David, Maesteg) another Monitor reminder. Did you know that one of the many thousand anagrams for "this is not a competition" is "The Motion? It is: Captions!?"
Stig, London, UK

Sorry, James (Wednesday's letters), that is nonsense. "Translation" does not mean a one-to-one word correlation. If it did "I'll get my coat" could not be translated into Chinese.
Mark Esdale, Bridge
