Straight to the POINT

PARAMEDIC Hassan Zubier, knifed while intervening in the stabbings in Finland, is a true hero — not a footballer who has scored. J. LEWIS, Somerton, Somerset. IF YOU don’t speed, you don’t need to worry about the cameras, hidden or not by hanging baskets (Letters). JILL COLEMAN, Cambridge. NEVER mind Chris Evans, I would gladly contribute my £147 licence fee for 60 minutes of perfection broadcasting from the Proms. HUW BEYNON, Llandeilo, Carms. I CAN’T I find a bikini for my holiday next week, but the shops are full of Christmas cards. C. HARRIS, Bromley, Kent. PUSHY dad Minesh Doshi puts the ‘us’ into Child Genius. VINCENT HEFTER, Richmond, Surrey. THEY’VE changed the recipe for custard creams (Letters)? I’m still mourning the loss of McVitie’s Royal Scot biscuits. CAROLE BARBER, Banstead, Surrey. I WOULD rather Nationwide improved its interest rates on my savings than waste a fortune on its edgy ‘Generation Z’ advert. TERRY HICKMAN, Southampton, Hants. I HAD to laugh at the subtitles on the BBC weather forecast that told us Harry Kane (rather than a hurricane) was on the way. RAY KILSBY, Filey, N. Yorks. OVERHEARD in the library: ‘I would like to see the electoral roll. Our neighbours won’t talk to us and we want to know who they are.’
