Straight to the POINT

÷ ELECTRIC cars to have an audible warning (Mail)? To respect their origin, would the noise of jangling milk bottles be appropriate? R. WIDDOWSON, Cleveland, N. Yorks.

÷ MY HUSBAND was looking to buy a beautiful grey hunter. But horses loves to roll on the ground (Mail). I asked him if he really wanted a green horse for summer and a dark brown one in the winter. C. D. FIELD, Mellieha, Malta.

÷ THERE are too many over-cooked cookery TV shows with half-baked presenters. Ms B. MATHER, South Brent, Devon.

÷ DOMINIC Lawson hates the prefix ‘pre’ (Mail). The phrase ‘almost exactly’ irks me. SANDRA GOFFIN, Wymondham, Norfolk.

÷ WITH her super-skinny legs, Amal Clooney should forget about minis and playsuits (Mail) and instead wear long skirts or trousers. R. L. BULLOCK, Barnsley, S. Yorks.

÷ AN IRONIC juxtaposition: on the front page, a river of plastic. On page three, Cambridge students party on a plastic-strewn lawn. ALLAN NIBLETT, London SW11.

÷ THE various Brexit tariffs are too complicated. Let’s have an old-fashioned divorce: pay what we owe and go our separate ways. JOHN COLLINS, Chelmsford, Essex.

÷ A UNIVERSITY researcher has branded the Mr Men and Little Miss characters sexist (Mail). This calls for a new book title: Little Miss Agenda-Biased Time-Waster.
