Re: Twitter feed . The National Bank of New Zealand was owned by Lloyds between 1966 and 2003 and has permission to use the logo until 2010. Also, Kiwi's don't tend to go in for upgrading logos purely for aesthetics - when I lived there I asked a Kiwi mate why certain packets in the supermarkets looked like they were made in the 70's. My friend couldn't see the point in updating them just to look more modern.

Can a barrister be struck off for using too many awful puns? If so, I'd like to nominate .

Now I know Sir Alex likes to have a good old moan at referees, but surely goes a bit too far?

Oh Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú, you do spoil us with this nominative determinism. So, who collected and analysed all the data in ?

This might be a bit late, but Monday's Daily mini-quiz answer is wrong. I've just consulted a bottle of Pimms and the recommendation is three parts lemonade to one part Pimms. So 1/4 of a pint of pure Pimms at 25% is about 3.5 units. Similarly assuming a 330ml bottle of alcopops the correct answer is half a pint of lager.

I can't help but wonder whether I'm the only person who knows the difference between "quote" and "quotation". I've forgiven it on here for quite some time but hearing the misuse of "quote" on Radio 4....blasphemy!

Monitor note:
To Val Clachan of Cardiff (Your Letters, Friday) who is "totally fed up of newsreaders and traffic reporters saying "bin" instead of "been". The phrase is "totally fed up with", not of.

Re: "". While I understand politics works in strange ways in the USA, how does a candidate manage to secure 0.5 of a delegate, as the pledged delegate tally for Mr Obama: 1,610.5 suggests?

Re (Your Letters, Monday), Monitor, would that be 130 geese pecking once a minute or nine geese pecking fourteen times a minute with a tenth taking its time so as not to get indigestion?

Re Nan-twitch v Nant-witch (Your Letters, Monday), I've spent the day saying both and as far as I can fathom they are indistinguishable. Unless you say them like Captain Kirk.

I've always pronounced Crewe Cree-wee.
Am I wrong then?

Re Tuesday's Quote of the Day, I suppose it's fortunate that nobody will be suggesting that they should eat cake.

So, the Duchess of York has never heard of water meters?

Trish in Scotland (Your Letters, Monday) is not alone with this new fangled Twitter being blocked. The powers that be in Dubai, UAE, have deemed the content inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates. Yikes.
