POINT

÷ IT’S a shame the new Prince’s name does not have the English spelling of Lewis, which would have been more patriotic as this mnemonic shows: London is the capital of England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland.

Lewis Johns, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancs.

÷ AS A GRANDPARENT, I feel sorry for Prince Charles. The maternal grandparents are always favoured.

DAnA PeRRin, Ticehurst, e. sussex.

÷ THE Romans built our roads — when will they be back to fill in the potholes?

P. howe, Leigh-on-sea, essex.

÷ DON’T make a fuss over police officers having a bit of a laugh on a slide (Mail). I’d like to see them in every playground and street.

DAViD McGRAiL, London n1.

÷ WHY don’t schools teach pupils to tell the time (Letters)? How about parents teaching their children — or are they also incapable of reading a clock?

DAViD BLoUnT, exeter, Devon.

÷ WHEN Kim Jong-un and President Moon hold hands, the BBC sees it as a sign of friendship and positivity. When Trump and Theresa May held hands, it was ridiculed.

GeoFF neAUM, heydon, Cambs.

÷ I’M SURPRISED that the character Apu in The Simpsons has been condemned as a racial stereotype. What about its other characters such as Fat Tony, an Italian-American depicted as a gangster, and Groundskeeper Willie, a flame-haired, hard-as-nails, bagpipe-playing Scotsman with an incomprehensible accent?
