Re Why I don't have a mobile: Gabrielle Collard, borrowing somebody else's mobile does not mean that it's free, it's just that YOU weren't paying for it.

"Everyone's got a mobile phone, right? Wrong, I don't." I "don't got" a phone? That can't be right, can it? Sorry, but this has been annoying me for a while now.

Having been abroad for 10 years or so, I have noticed the move towards "I don't have" rather than "I haven't got" - has anyone else noticed this? Also how about the word "clearly" used by politicians, and when did "brain surgery" turn to "rocket science"?

All this talk of "five hours of culture a week" reminds me of a long-ago school trip to see Shakespeare's The Tempest. There were [tee hee] willies on stage. Actual willies.

Louise from Wales (Tuesday letters), have you considered that a Mrs Pope might not want people to know her real age? With my mother, for instance, you have to take the age she tells you and add VAT to get her real age.
