Straight to the POINT

■ WHY do BBC TV newsreaders say: ‘Thank you for joining us if you’re watching from the UK or around the world.’ Where else could viewers be?

MIKe PICeWICz, Blackpool, Lancs. ■ SPEAKING of things that are hard to open (Letters), I’ve found it nearly impossible to open my wallet for years. MALCOLM ALLeN,

Heanor, Derbys. ■ ‘STORMONT Brake’? I thought Stormont was already on a break. Get back to working for us and stop making feeble excuses.

ANN MAGee, Donaghadee, Co. Down. ■ MORE unusual than a pedestrian not staring at a mobile phone (Letters) is one who is, yet tries to avoid bumping into you.

COLIN DRuRY, Dinas Powys, Vale of Glamorgan. ■ MEGHAN kept a journal ‘during her time as a working royal’? I must have missed that ten minutes.
