Re story about orthodox , Chairman Moshe Weiss says that searching for "banana" in Google will bring up porn within the first few results. Purely in the interests of research, I tried this out. But after 10 pages of results, I was unable to see any links that could even be regarded as porn.

Phyton? (Your Letters, Friday) Sounds like something that the LHC might have found, if it hadn't been turned off.

Re . I work for a large forum software development company. Last week, forums (from several providers, including us) were targeted by spammers right across the net. The Damilola Trust should not take this personally - it affected tens of thousands of websites.

With a second county in Wales , Powys, the first County, is being urged to leave lights on in crime 'hotspot' areas. But won't the absence of lights create new crime 'hotspot' areas?
