Your Letters
I'm impressed to see Google showing some of North Korea at last - but you really should have shown the to see just how far they still have to go!

The rise of over-familiarity is nothing new, and not restricted to websites either. It always grates on me when I hear people in the service industry call me "mate". The word "mate" is a casual term for "friend". I always think "Hang on - I'm not your friend. You don't even know my name!"

I got a rather formal 404 error message when I first tried to read this. Maybe "Oops! Sorry, mate" would have been more appropriate?
