</div> I don't agree with James (MetroTalk, Wed) who says members of the Home Lords are 'principally a bunch of previous farts who don't do anything worthwhile for the nation'. His feedback are insulting and ageist.
If James thinks he can do a greater job, he should stand for parliament as an MP as an alternative of sniping from the sidelines. Scott, West London

Tourists from everywhere in the world usually come to Britain of their hordes, however that they had better not go bathing or swimming in any of England's rivers, lakes or coastal waters, in any other case they'll be in for a surprise – or, even worse, a impolite awakening!

Is Cadbury so afraid of offending non-Christian individuals by selling 'gesture' eggs in its retailer in Spalding, or is it making an attempt to obliterate the fact that Easter is a commemoration of probably the most profound historic occasion, one that changed the world for the better?

All these measures to deal with rushing are properly and good, but when the police are going to prosecute speeders, they should prosecute tailgaters as properly. Nick, London
