Now that the VAT rate has been reduced, will pound shops become 98p shops?
Adam, London, UK

Re : The new breathalyser "...also records the driver's age, gender, ethnicity and precise location and reading of the test." All that from a sample of someone's breath? Crikey, that's impressive. Tell me again why we need ID cards?
Alex Knibb, Bristol, UK

Re The letter I just sent you about the fab new breathalysers, I've just found out why we still need ID cards, it was cunningly hidden in the next sentence: "The data will not include the driver's name or any personal information that could identify them."
Rats.
Alex Knibb, etc

Peter Travers, Weymouth

I have just spent upwards of five minutes rearranging the panels on my 91Èȱ¬.co.uk homepage so that all the columns line up at the bottom. I could have been working. Thanks a lot. (PS Could you perhaps send an email round all the bloggers explaining that it would be helpful to me if they would please not make posts with titles that go onto two lines on the homepage? Thanks.)
Paul T, Manchester, UK
