Your Letters

So the owner of the "will be asked to describe its contents". I'll guess they will say: "As well as the ashes, the bag also contained a photograph of a man, woman and child, cigarettes, a bottle of perfume and make-up." At a push they may even name the street it was lost in, and when...

I'm very sorry, but the chocolate vending machines were removed from the Tube platforms a couple of years back. I miss them so much.

Adam, London, UK

Listening to a TV news broadcast on Wednesday, I distinctly heard: "Tiger's problems are continuing to mount."

The funniest Monitor letter ever (Wednesday letters)? The one from Kerry Rose. I'm sure we're all dying for this year's update on how Weston and Elvis are doing.
