÷ IT’S a shame the Duchess of Cambridge had to have a hand-me-down tiara (Mail). I’m sure Poundland could have given her a new one.

TREVOR JENNINGS, Bognor Regis, West Sussex. ÷ IT’S just as well the 100 immigrants who landed on the RAF base in Cyprus weren’t ISIS fighters. The base would have been overrun before the servicemen had time to put down their cocktails.

PETER BIBBY, Cold Ash, Berks. ÷ IT WILL be interesting to read President Xi Jinping’s TripAdvisor review of his visit to England.

TONY LAGO, Littlehampton, West Sussex. ÷ IF JOSE MOURINHO thinks he knows so much more than referees (Mail), perhaps he should become one.

HOWARD THOMAS, Reading, Berks. ÷ WHY does civilian Tom Winsor dress up in a police uniform that he has no right to wear (Mail)? Does he have an inferiority complex? Isn’t it a criminal offence to impersonate a police officer?

C. NEWTON, Irthlingborough, Northants. ÷ THE venue for the England v Pakistan Test Matches in Dubai has introduced a new exciting feature for TV viewers: spot the spectator.

DENNIS NISBET, Whickham, Tyne & Wear. ÷ IF COMMISSIONING Chinese nuclear technology forf power stations has such benefits, why don’t we contractc out Trident to the Chinese as well?

J. LEVINSON, Ilford, Essex. ÷ WHY is it that when the National Lottery winning numbers are given out on TV on a Saturday night, they tell us how many winning tickets there are butb not how many losers?

IAN ATKINSON, Royton, Lancs. ÷ DO BBC TV news reporters have second careers as puppeteers? Something is making them wave their hands about.
