Straight to the POINT

I CAN’T decide which scary mask to wear for Halloween: John Bercow or Jeremy Corbyn?

RODNEY TAYLOR, Witney, Oxon. WHILE October 31 might not yet free us from the EU, it will rid us of Speaker John Bercow.

DENNIS FISHER, Leeds. WHAT’S happened to ‘Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year’? Cards say ‘Have a magical time’, ‘Happy Holiday’ or ‘Winter wishes’.

ANDREW BOSLEY, Morley, Derbys. A POSTAL strike at Christmas means fewer cards will be sent, resulting in postal job cuts.

BRIAN BEST, High Wycombe, Bucks. SAME-SEX couples on Strictly (Mail)? Surely that’s a quickstep too far.

BRIAN PEDDER, Liss, Hants. AFTER waiting for four hours in agony in A&E, I was taken to a cubicle, where I spent another four hours before seeing a doctor.

FRED COPLEY, Birmingham. OBESITY in children is caused by a lack of exercise. I used to run everywhere and enjoyed the sensation of speed as the ground flashed beneath my feet.

A. STILL, Ilford, Essex. I WAS bemused to see this sign in Lidl: ‘These wines contain alcohol.’

A. FLOYD, Tingewick, Bucks. WHEN our caravan was stolen in August, we told the police we had video evidence. They said an officer would come in a day or two to investigate. We’re still waiting.

JANET JAMES, Coventry.
