Straight to the POINT

÷ AS CLIMATE change grips the globe, rails buckle, but we’re told we will have HS2 trains zipping along at 250 mph . . .

J. G. DAWSON, Chorley, Lancs.

÷ GARY LINEKER earns every penny of his £1.75 million BBC salary. He has to think up questions such as: ‘What’s it like to be top of the league?’ Then he ends the programme with a pun. What a workload! So I say to Gary’s critics: could you do his job?

S. JARVIS, Kedington, Suffolk.

÷ JO SWINSON, in the job two minutes and already putting the boot into the Government. Good old, kindly Lib Dems.

J. WALMSLEY, Bury, Gtr Manchester.

÷ THE look on Philip May’s face when he was leaving No 10 said it all: concern, sadness, love and emotion. Superb pictures — well done Daily Mail.

JANETTE COWPLAND, uckfield, E. Sussex.

÷ WHAT a shame that the decision to move away from the books has turned Poldark into a soap opera with 21st-century issues.

IAN DOLING, Eastbourne, E. Sussex.

÷ I AM not surprised House of Fraser is struggling. My local store is full of sportswear after Mike Ashley took over. The only area with any footfall is the cafe, which is excellent.

M. BERRY, Skipton, N. Yorks.

÷ I AGREE with the complaint about creeping Americanisms (Letters). I was surprised to hear a BBC1 continuity announcer say ‘skedule’ instead of ‘schedule’.
