STEPH WILSON, Scunthorpe, Lincs. DON’T do what I do. I mean don’t say what I do. Did I go to a party? No, it was a work activity with alcohol. Now the Party wants to talk to me about a party.

DENNIS FITZGERALD, Melbourne, Australia. AN ONION has been developed that doesn’t make you cry — until you see the price.

STEPHEN GERRARD, York. I DON’T agree with the BBC’s latest cost-saving initiative. It’s replaced Radio 4’s Today programme with a broken record.
