Your Letters
What with the outrageous deals pulled off by Brown in order to buy the DUP's votes, coupled with the recent reports of the PM (Prime Minister, not Paper Monitor) telephoning people in the early hours, it has got me wondering whether he intends to contact every voter personally before the next election to see what we want in return for our votes. I personally will be asking for a pony.

Regarding the story "", I always find that blowing on your chips is a better way of cooling them, water makes them go soggy.

An by a Bell. This is too easy now.

Many thanks to Mark, Reading, (Wednesday's Letters) for his kind offer to assist Claire and I, but in this instance I'm afraid I must indeed decline. Despite being somewhat irregular, I have been conjugated for a few years now, and my husband would probably disapprove. Especially as he doesn't like grammar puns. (Does that make him genitive?)

is a great idea which we should fully adopt in the UK, as my son Lower Fuel Tax Northrop fully agrees.

All milk out here in Bolivia and I'm dubious about the environmental merits. I seem to lose about half the bag due to accidents opening the bag (milk squirting everywhere), finding a suitable container (milk spilling everywhere) and finally milk going off due to not having a nice sterile container (milk smelling everywhere). I can't help suspecting that returnable and reusable glass bottles were a more environmentally friendly option.

As a frequent visitor to North America I am very familiar with milk in plastic bags. They're a standard item in grocery stores. I would imagine every home in North America not only has one of the plastic holders in their refrigerator, but also a safety cutter - to nip off one corner of a new bag - attached to the refrigerator door with a magnet. You get used to them, but I agree that surely reusable bottles and electric milk floats are far better?
