Your Letters

Will the no-longer dreadlocked lady be contributing to ?
Joseph, London

I love the fact that the is bomb-proof, while the very Georgian-looking glass paned windows either side clearly are not.
Brianofthecam, Cambridge, UK

In , Jenny Mulholland, landlady of the nearby Willow Tree pub, says: "I just happened to look out the window and saw a bus with no roof and thought, 'that's a sight you don't see very often'."
Y'see, it's the very rare occasions when I read something as wonderfully understated and matter-of-fact as this that I feel genuinely proud to be British.
Sue, London

Re ;

Si, Leeds

My pedant alarm went off instantly when I saw that headline. Almost as bad as when I heard a newsreader in Wales refer to "ASBO orders".
Hannah, Oxford

Never mind Morecambe and Wise (Paper Monitor), will Nick and Dave behaviour like Ant and Dec and always stand the same way round so we can tell them apart?
Howard G, Nottingham

Chief Whip? Now that's a great title! Although I was a little disappointed to discover it had nothing to do with ice cream.
Luisa, Frome

In fairness, Ken Clarke also has an eccentric taste in footwear (Wednesday letters). Put him in knee breeches and tights plus brown suedes and you have a story.
Ed, London

Talking of grovelheaps (Wednesday letters), I've always felt that these bumper crops of letters never quite made up for the lack of missed-day letters; so I checked. In the past two years there have been nine "bumper crops" including a total of 126 letters: a healthy average bumper crop of 14. Comparing each to the previous completed letters selection gives an average normal crop of 10 letters. This means each grovelheap makes up only 40% of the missed letters and we are owed 54 letters in the past two years alone.
Michael, Edinburgh, UK

Dear Candace, as an alternative to the Monitor's suggestion in Wednesday letters, why not just eat coffee-flavoured fudge brownies?
Nima_toad, DC, US

Eating a brownie with a coffee isn't the same as fudge brownie-flavoured coffee, due to the calories... Could Monitor be a skinny-minnie bloke?
Carol, Bangalore, India

We have lavender-flavoured coffee. Trying too hard?
Rachel, Minnetonka
