Your Letters
I've been kept amused by the habit in election stories of listing other candidates at the bottom of any article which mentions any one candidate. Today this equality feature even reached the shores of Paper Monitor. This leads the question that if I mention one candidate now, such as Baron von Thunderclap in Sussex Mid, will the Monitor be obliged to list all others?

Monitor note: Other candidates standing in Sussex Mid are David Boot, Labour; Paul Brown, Green; Stuart Minihane, British National Party;
Marc Montgomery, UK Independence Party; Nicholas Soames, Conservative and Serena Tierney, Liberal Democrat.

Can I congratulate the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ on their headline, "Mandelson and Balls on Peppa Pig-gate." Not only is it almost all-noun, but it works on oh-so-many levels. It's a pleasure to read, provided you use your imagination and don't bother reading the actual article.

Did you only publish Luisa from Frome's letter so that we pedants could complain about her grammar? The problem now is that people are actually saying "should of" and completely by-passing the excuse that they are mishearing what they are saying. Such glaring errors such as this just cloud the message being put over which is a shame as the first job of language is to communicate. Should I of got my coat?

gives an excellent reason why it is ridiculous to suggest he runs a sex club in his house - the ceiling are too low. I would vote for him.
