Rebecca H (Letters, Friday) claims she doesn't understand why vegetarians eat replica meat and wear replica fur. Well I imagine she would never think of eating a human baby, yet, hypocrisy of hypocrisy, she eats colourful fruit-flavoured jelly sweets in the shape of human babies. How can anyone justify such a double standard?

So, . In a statement, British Transport Police said: "Four men are to be prosecuted for public order offences following a disturbance on the 1937 First Great Western London Paddington to Cardiff train on the evening of Sunday, 2 December. At 9.25pm on 2 December, BTP officers at Cardiff Central responded ..." So, as they're clearing using the old style of quoting times (9.25 p.m.), Can we assume that the 1937 First Great Western train was just running a few years late?

Speaking as a resident of Tower Hamlets, just underscores the importance of not letting my boss see how much time I spend on the Magazine Monitor.

RE: The ... where am I to tick if I haven't seen it, don't want to see it over Christmas and don't feel like reading the book?
