I'm afraid I just HAVE to point out to HB of Birmingham (Thursday's letters) that wine comes in cases, it's beer that comes in crates! Now I'm off to refill my decanter. Cheers!

Re Halloween vs Bonfire Night. Surely the "trick or treat" activities of Halloween are illegal - it is, after all, "making demands with menaces".

Is it soon time we banned the sale of fireworks to all but licence-holding officials to use at public displays? Being able to buy fireworks over the counter seems a bit backwards, somehow.

The condom situation isn't helped by some shop assistants either. My most traumatic experience came whilst buying 36 condoms because the boxes of 12 were on three-for-two. They didn't come up on the offer, leading the sale attendant to shout rather loudly at her supervisor and then proceed to wave a box of them around in the air. Eventually the price got corrected, but she clearly got distracted because as I left the shop the security alarm went off, and the security guard decided to empty my bag in the doorway, and then repeatedly walk back and forward through the door with each box to see which one hadn't had the security coil disabled. It rather put me off any sort of fun that night.

Here in Oregon I've made my single most critical ballot decision in decades (bottom paragraph). There was a bunch of other boring stuff on the ballot too.
