YOU SAY

The gentleman who’s so lonely he’d pay for a date (Dear Coleen, Oct 23) sounds like a very sweet and genuine chap. I’d like to recommend Spice to him (spiceuk.com).

Rather than a dating site, it’s a social and sports group aimed at singles that offers all manner of events, trips and activities from rambling and water skiing to theatre nights and foreign holidays. It would definitely help with the loneliness and, as everyone is pretty much in the same situation, he might meet someone who takes his fancy. Anon, via email
