Your Letters

15:54 UK time, Wednesday, 18 February 2009

Dear Monitor, why, when the question of the North-South divide is raised, do Northerners take such a London-centric view of the South? There are plenty of lovely places in the South East alone to complain about; take Canterbury, Winchester, Guildford, Eastbourne and Royal Tunbridge Wells for starters. There's plenty of room for cultural belittlement outside of London, you know.

Re: "Learner driver 'was worst ever'" I hope the examiner didn't actually request the learner driver perfom a three-point turn as this story suggests. The actual requirement is to turn the car around using the forward and reverse gears. The number of "points" taken is irrelevant.

Mike (Tuesday letters) - I've got your coat.

Oh dear, Louise of Surrey (Tuesday letters). Never heard of Mark Twain? Let y'self down there.

To follow up on Basil Long's letter (Tuesday letters) shouldn't the Vodafone spokesman have advertised their phone as "the thinner, nicer Android-powered device on the market"?

I find it strange that it was felt necessary to lock up Abu Qatada because "he was considering fleeing the UK". Given that the authorities were trying to deport him at the time, wouldn't that have just saved everyone a lot of trouble?

Looking at the strapline on this article - I wondered when we might see a similar gender-identifier on the top of the Monitor column.

Surely I am not the only one who thinks this article is six weeks early?
