´óÏó´«Ã½

Why is everyone always knocking Wales as a holiday destination? OK, perhaps a caravan holiday in Prestatyn might not be everybody's cup of tea, but we have enjoyed many caravan holidays in Pembrokeshire and Gwynedd. And we have superb attractions such as the World Heritage sites of Caernarfon and Beaumaris Castle, many plucky little narrow-gauge railways, much industrial archaeology, stunning scenery and beaches, and even Impressionist art. And the weather's improved of late too. Does anybody know if Harrison Ford enjoyed his stay?

How did article get away without explaining what on earth "Munros" or "Corbetts" are? Do Corbetts sit in a big chair?
Dan, Cambridge

reminded me once again of a letter I wrote to you a while back about the over-use of the word "row" in ´óÏó´«Ã½ headlines. Discussing this at work, we came up with "ding-dong" or "ruck" as alternatives to get you started. Plus, you could even get creative with them, such as "Rugby players in drugs ruck" or "Campanologists in tuning ding-dong".

Upon seeing the headline , please say it wasn't just me who thought this was a Britain's Got Talent spin-off show.

Monitor note: Judging by our bulging mailbag, you most certainly were not.

Reading The Therapist's letter aloud poses the question, are you Sean Connery?

A, London (Wednesday letters), I hadn't read the article in question, but reading your letter triggered a yawn. Please don't take that personally.

Web Monitor, my personal favourite Downfall re-subtitling is "Hitler finds out Burnley beat Chelsea" after the league cup triumph last year.

Hitler also didn't take the news of the Oasis spilt very well.

I am not impressed with your twittering of the caption competition. The correct use of punctuation is *BOB*, not !BOB!
Tom Medley, Cambridge, UK
Monitor note: Beg to differ. *Bob* suggests Bob the Builder. !BOB! suggests a loud and hearty BOB the Builder. Try singing it.

Dear Paper Monitor: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Or rather, "merci" for informing the nation that Spiral (to give it its Anglophone title) will be back soon. Kisses on both cheeks, a la française.
