I may have come across as a little "ranty" yesterday for which I apologise.

I just scored a big fat zero on the outfits quiz. Does that make me a slob, out of step or uniquely stylish? No, don't tell me! I'll get my kaftan.
Graham, Hayle, Cornwall

Random stat "41 per cent more crisps being secretly eaten by men compared to a year ago". If it is a secret, how do we know what happened? How many of us have come across male secret-crisp-eaters and reported them? (to whom, exactly?) I think this statistic is completely random.

Ed, Wakefield

Malcolm, Wrexham
