I CAN’T wait for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics when the BBC can employ even more commentato­rs and celebrity analysts, and dispense completely with televising that infuriatin­g sports activity. ALAN JARRETT, Rochester.

IT’S crazy to base the Olympics medal table on golds alone, devaluing silvers and bronzes. It would be much fairer to adopt a 3-2-1 points system, producing a more balanced table. GRAHAM ANDREWS, Bideford, Devon.

GOLF an Olympic sport? How about snooker and darts next? GEOFF COOK, Gateshead, Tyne & Wear.

DUE to the recent referendum vote, our holiday in Spain next month will now cost at least £250 more. How do I claim from the Brexit gang? MERVYN WILLIAMS, Huddersfie­ld.

RIP-OFF credit card fees (Mail)? Having just paid my car tax, I see HM Government also charges 2.5 per cent for use of a credit card. BOB CARR, Gosport, Hants.

PAYING good money to watch a baby playing at the Edinburgh Fringe (Mail)? Seems taking money from the arty crowd is child’s play. E. SuLLIVAN, Edinburgh. BABIES and children in restaurant­s and now theatres (Mail)? What happened to babysitter­s? AuSTIN BOLSHAW, Prenton, Cheshire.

WARREN MITCHELL once said everyone would be up in arms if they showed Till Death Do Us Part again. It wouldn’t be everyone, just the PC minority. ALAN LOCK, address supplied.
