Straight to the POINT

÷ IT’S almost Midsummer’s Day, and I still have the central heating on. What happened to global warming?

GEOFF COOK, Gateshead. ÷ SHOPPING at Sainsbury’s, I got given a 50p voucher just for being a customer. That’s twice as much as the pension increase for reaching age 80.

ALEC TELFORD, Darlington. ÷ THE film Independence Day 2 is being released on June 23. Could this be an omen?

Mrs A. SMITH, Croydon, Surrey. ÷ WILL the EU’s proposed rapid reaction force have to wait for its 28 member states to agree when and where to deploy it?

BRIAN CHRISTLEY, Abergele, Conwy. ÷ HOW appropriate that the gang who defrauded jewellers used Monopoly money to represent large denomination Euro notes (Mail). After June 23, the conmen might wish they had kept the fake cash.

FRED MCMANUS, Paisley. ÷ IF WE vote to leave the EU, at least we’ll have a JCB to tear down the crumbling edifice and a Dyson to clean up the mess.

GEOFF NEAUM, Heydon, Cambs. ÷ I WAS delighted to see how Nigel Farage handled a hysterical Angela Merkel on Question Time — only to discover it was Eddie Izzard.

BILL NAYLOR, Wilsford, Lincs. ÷ IF WE leave the EU, as recommended by BT’s chairman, will he change the name back to British Telecom and do away with foreign call centres?

PETER BIBBY, Reading, Berks. ÷ I HAVE worked in the upper echelons of motor racing, but motorbikes on our roads appear to have a higher set of decibels than even an F1 car. And no one seems to be doing anything about it.
