Straight to the POINT

WHAT a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the Special Relationship if Harry and Meghan were to ask Donald Trump to be godfather. D. M. DEAMER, York. I BET Nigel Farage didn’t need Sunday lunch after he had Andrew Marr for breakfast. PETER WHITE, Horsley Woodhouse, Derbys. LULU’S ageless looks were not the reason she wasn’t offered a seat on the Tube (Mail). I have grey hair and no facelift, but all the other passengers are too busy looking at their phones to notice me strap-hanging. SUSAN DAY, London NW9. MY COUSIN did it ‘his way’ (Letters), with Nellie The Elephant played at his funeral. P. CHILD, Basildon, Essex. FREDDIE STARR was a one-off. He was politically incorrect and made us laugh. TREV MURDIN, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. CHARCOAL toothpaste (Mail)? As a child in the Fifties, we had lovely white teeth thanks to brushing with salt then soot from the fireplace. JOHN BARNETT, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs. THE models in raincoats (Femail) won’t look so chic with rat-tail hair, cold legs and ruined sandals. What about an umbrella and boots? Ms P. WATSON, Grimsby, Lincs. I AM British by birth and Cornish by the grace of God. What does that make me? Lucky! CATHERINE BROWN, Helston, Cornwall. DORIS DAY gave so much joy to millions, but suffered too much personal unhappiness.
