The photo at the top of your article on February's obituaries describes the late lamented Dave Clark Five singer Mike Smith as the band's "Lead singer and vocalist" [now corrected].

Is there anyone else that looks out for letters to PM from Stuart, Croydon? He always manages to pick up on those stories that I manage to miss during the working day, like today's naked surfing. A treat for the last hour of work!

If Match of the Day's monthly competition is back, then why are the Cap Com and Punorama still absent from our screens?
