Your Letters
In light of recent travel disruption and the non-delivery of presents can I suggest we all move Christmas back one week? That is not too much to ask, is it ?

"We can completely ignore timetables today," a Plymouth CityBus spokesman said. My early-morning bus to the station manages that every day, regardless of the weather.

When I saw Hammond supports high speed rail I immediately clicked on it, thinking that a Top Gear presenter had finally been weaned off his petrol head. Imagine my chagrin to find it was the transport secretary. How very disappointing.

I think nominative determinism may well extend to street names (Thursday Letters): my secondary school was in Mob Lane. Not sure if that says more about me then the school though...

Dearest, dearest Monitor, as a long-time faithful reader of MM, I'm overwhelmed that you have rewarded my first ever caption entry with a small amount of kudos. I can't tell you how much this means to me, especially as I'm having to put up with day after day of sunny 27C weather, instead of all that Christmasy white stuff you have over there. At least I have my small amount of kudos to cool me down.

Paul (Friday letters) - I think it was flu: it took me two-and-a-half days to type that, and I had to use my tongue. Much recovered now, though, after a few pickled onions.

I might not be able to get all my cards posted this year, you know how busy things get, so can I take advantage of MM to wish all my friends and family a Very Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
