Your Letters

It must be very frustrating to have an over-sensitive porn filter on your mobile phone when the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s most-read article is Sex toys taken during burglary.

Imagine the conversation when they decided to start that business, awkward no matter who initiated it…or is it just me?

Is there a word for the outrage that's felt when Monitor completely ignores your letter about how newspapers agree on who gets which pun from six months ago, and then publishes one from Rob in London (Monday's letters) asking the same thing?! Granted, Rob's was a little witter and more succinct. But still. I'll get my envious coat.

Sadly Susan (Monday's letters), whilst you may yearn for the far-off halcyon days of halfpenny sweets, I'm afraid you are wrong. When we went decimal, the pound stayed the same. So, shillings being a twentieth of a pound, stayed in circulation for years but were deemed to be worth five new pence. In fact even sixpences stayed for awhile, as 2.5p. I have a recollection that they could still be used in phone boxes in the second half of the 1970s. No mobile phones when I was at school.

Jen (Monday letters), OMG.

So, Rik (Monday's letters), I'm guessing John Rentoul didn't have much truck with Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf?
