Your Letters

I'm Mitt Romney's first cousin, removed 13 times. We are both descended from the Towne family, who reached the Colony of Massachusetts in the 1600s. I knos he admits to being descended from Rebecca Towne Nurse, so he must also claim Mary Towne Estes, and Sarah Towne Cloyce, all of whom were hanged as witches in the famous Salem Massechusetts Trials. Fortunately, I am descended from their older brother, who had the sense to die before the Puritans attacked the Towne sisters. I'm back now,and I have two sisters. As the colony belonged to Great Britain, does that mean that we are entitled to compensation from the government for an unfair trial?

Re: Life in a Cashless Society. So what happens to kid's pocket money if money goes totally electronic or digital? At what age can we expect our kids to take responsibility for a debit card or a phone app rather than just giving them a pound for some sweets?
