Straight to the POINT

A KNIGHTHOOD is for a man who shows skill in battle, is competent in jousting and can climb up the hair of a fair maiden to reach her window. Nick Clegg can do none of these. PHILIP HODSON, Newmarket, Suffolk. STILL no knighthood for Nigel Farage? It shows how vindictive the Establishment can be. SANDRA PARSONS, Keston, Kent. INVITE Trump to Meghan’s wedding? But St George’s Chapel isn’t large enough for his ego. DAVE ALDERSON, Winchester, Hants. WHAT an insult suggesting Jeremy Corbyn could be offered the cleaner’s job at No. 10 (Letters). Unlike trained professionals, he’s wouldn’t know what to do with a broom — though I might have a few suggestions. PETER MITCHELL, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. UNBELIEVABLE! This week in my local Co-op, Easter eggs went on sale. LORRAINE PRESTON, Ripley, Surrey. THE perfect roast potato (Mail)? Tuck ’em around the bird was how my mother got crispy potatoes, but I parboil them before placing in the oven with a little olive oil. GORDON BARBERRY, St Austell, Cornwall. SMASHED garlic cloves in the potato water and rosemary and garlic added to the roasting pan (Mail)? Ugh, what a party pooper. WILF DOE, Nottingham. I IGNORED the sprout police telling us to eat no more than six and had as many as I liked — absolutely none!
