I'd just like to clarify a few things, spurred on by . The longest day doesn't end in the shortest night, that falls the night before. The longest day is also not the day when the sun rises earliest or when the sun sets latest, but the day of the longest range between the two. At least, that's what I think I've just worked out... anyone willing to correct me?

Are really venerating "...a beautiful experience. It's about celebrating nature, life and what makes the world go round" by making an utter pigsty of Stonehenge, scattering non-biodegradable plastic litter around a World Heritage Site?
Angus Gafraidh, London, UK

I see over in ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Sport that starts today. Personally I'm looking forward to NW8, but I guess anything is better than more from SW1P.

Wimbledon again. A feast of wonderful tennis spread incomprehensibly across the Beeb's main channels. Each day I will leave the video on in the hope of getting some sort of continuous coverage, but I know I will just get into a match, when it switches channels, and the video will never see it again. I do not understand why, in this modern era, the Beeb still has to behave like it did in the 1960s, when ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two was new. Why can't we just put continuous coverage on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two and leave the children's TV alone? What aspect of the charter is being fulfilled by switching over to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One and then back to Two? It's long been crazy and pointless.
Noel Turner, Ryde, Isle of Wight

DMQ SPOILER ALERT
Today's must be sponsored by the Wimbledon strawberry suppliers. The majority of guesses (like mine) was that the punnet and cream is £3.00. The correct answer is only £2.25. So the great Wimbledon-going public is therefore influenced to think that strawberries are a lot cheaper than they imagined, and are therefore more likely to be ripped off. Again.

With reference to Valerie Singleton's recent decision to "kiss and tell" (Quote of the day), am I the only person traumatised by these revelations? It's like your Mum and Dad "doing it" - you know they do but you really don't want to read about it.

Re : Presumably if it does get banned, it should be too hard to spot those who have taken it? Especially with all that Lycra.

OK Monitorites, let's try to replace "brain storming" and "idea showers" with "binge thinking" (Friday letters).
Teegee, Belfast
