James H, York (Tuesday's letters) - Team A wins 60% of their home games - that means they lose or draw the remaining 40% presumabley to another team (say b-z inclusive). Team A also win 40% of their away games. meaning they lose or draw 60%. The two are not related. I'll get me away kit.

Dear people of Ilfracombe, it's called "a joke". The whole reason that it's funny to say that Ilfracombe is "laced with prostitution" is that it's so obviously untrue. What Mr Shatner is really saying is that Ilfracombe is the last place on the planet where one would expect to find a prostitute and, furthermore, that he expects everyone he's talking to will understand this.

Sorry, Ian from Redditch (Tuesday's letters) but that is not a haiku. Haiku have 17 "on" - poetic syllables - in a pattern of five in the first line, seven in the second and five in the first. Yours has five, six and five. Calm light on new day/ Fresh breezes stir gentle air/I will get me coat.

So the Feathers had a visit from the police because they were hosting a gig by, not at, 4am? I really don't see the problem. Obviously the Police visit was a Sting.
