Re: wedding street parties in Lincoln (or anywhere else for that matter). When grandparents had street parties all they had to do was put the trestles and bunting up, not do a risk assessment on whether a fairy cake could fall on someone's head and harm them. Too much red tape is the reason!

Graham (Wednesday's letters), one thing I've noticed in these letters is that there is no lack of interest in telling people about one's lack of interest. Happily the coverage is limited here, which is a relief after being bombarded with the even-less-interesting Swedish Royal Wedding for weeks on end last year.

Why does everything in the most shared box have "quotation" marks? I'm sure they're not all needed.1: Bob Marley's 'human moment' revealed in lost footage. 2: Japanese emperor 'deeply worried'. 3: Rap star Nate Dogg 'dies aged 41'. 4: 'Radiation' text message is fake. 5: 'Red tape' forces quake team home.

Ian, (Wednesday's letters), I don't know the name either but I get it every time a Radio or TV presenter says Nucular instead of Nuclear. It's not difficult and you're supposed to be professionals. New. Clear o.k That's better, pain gone. For now.

Ian (Wednesday's letters) - why is schedule supposed to be pronounced shed-ule, but school is pronounced skool, scheme is pronounced skeem etc?

Ian (Wednesday's letter), The word for that wincing pain that goes through you shoulders every time you hear someone pronounce schedule, "sked-yoo-uhl" is known as pedantitis
