Straight to the POINT

WHERE have Lincoln biscuits gone (Letters)? My children call them ‘biscuits with pimples’. Mrs DIANA REES, Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan. AFTER his Glastonbury success, will Jeremy Corbyn conduct the Last Night Of The Proms? M. J. MARSH, Saddleworth, Gtr Manchester. I WAS amused that subtitles on a weather report for the Isle of Wight stated there had been a gust of 61mph ‘at the measles’ (it meant the Needles). RICK TAYLOR, Witney, Oxon. UNIVERSITY courses should be rated from five stars if they are likely to get you a job to none if you’ll end up on the dole. PAUL BRAZIER, Kingswood, Glos. IF HOME visits are the answer to bank branch closures (Money Mail), won’t conmen take advantage of this? MIKE DAVEY, Castle Bromwich, W. Mids. SURELY the TV show Len Goodman’s Partners In Rhyme should be on CBBC not prime-time on a Saturday night. RONALD FRENCH, Bexleyheath, S.E. London. IN RUSSELL BRAND, Bernard Gallacher hasn’t so much lost a daughter as gained a halfwit. PHIL HARDING, Manchester. MY RECIPE for a happy marriage: turn a deaf ear; find an interesting hobby; never forget birthdays or anniversaries; and acquire an understanding mistress. GEOFFREY LINDLEY, Ferndown, Dorset.
