Your Letters

16:22 UK time, Wednesday, 22 October 2008

Re Clive Anderson's , one thing he doesn't mention is that people complaining about political correctness are more likely to be white, straight, male, and so on. Or, to put it shortly, much less likely to suffer, be intimidated or oppressed by, feel threatened or hurt because of sexist, racist, homophobic and other discriminatory comments. For many of us who do suffer from the awful things people say about us, people bemoaning political correctness gone mad are as depressing as any demo or angry mob.
Hugh, London

Rory from Iver (Tuesday letters) - you're right, we'd do much better to have four seven-day weeks per lunar cycle of 28 days, and 13 of these lunar cycles each year, with just one extra day (holiday, preferably) needed to make up the difference. And you can remember the days in each month with the following rhyme:
"28 days hath September, April, June and November. All the rest hath 28, excepting February alone, which hath 28 as well."
Peter Clarkson, Surrey, UK

It's not that odd to have system with 365 days in a year, as that's the number of days it takes to go round the sun. If Rory has come up with a way to change the length of days or years into more convenient metric lengths, let me know.
Brendan, London

Who will be the one to write in with the "Thank God for atheism" joke (Quote of the Day)?
Nigel Macarthur, London, England

If there's a sing-song on the atheist bus, can I suggest, Yes We Have No Nirvanas?
Mike, Newcastle upon Tyne

Heaven may be in Pilsby (Monday letters), but I've found Paradise - Hemel Hempstead, Herts, HP1 1HH.
Gordon, Walton on Thames, Surrey

What a lovely photo of . Surely, though, even the most zonked-out heavy metal head should be able to work out which one she is without having to be told?
Graham, Purmerend, Netherlands

What a disgusting waste of the emergency services' time and resources is.
Lucy, Maidstone, Kent

In anticipation of the 2012 Magazine Letters Contributors' League Table being compiled, could I point out that I am not in fact the Daniel that had his letter published yesterday. Thank you.
Daniel, London
