Re . While I love the new Wembley and I mostly agree with the article the writer failed to mention the massive queue that formed for the people with standing tickets, as they had only opened 1 gate for those on the pitch. This was sorted out, but it was a bit of a hiccup. Also, from the pitch the acoustics weren't so great. At the halfway line there was a bad echo of the sound from the rear of the stadium.

In a climate where parents are worried about their children setting foot in the streets because of the sex offenders lurking behind every bush, is it responsible reporting to headline an article with , followed by the number of child victims, rapes, and other horrifying facts, without more emphasis given to the age of the offenders, or the circumstances in which this is deemed appropriate? How can the public remain informed if an article gives 70% coverage to the shock-factor, 20% coverage to the outraged parties involved, and only 10% to the reason for the headline? I'm surprised at the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳.

I see in the business section that UK property prices are moving upwards. Links to other ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ articles tell us that house price inflation is easing off, that mortgage approvals hit a new low, that the rate rise will cool the housing market, and that house prices are still accelerating. Would it save space if, every month, the business section just had a line which read: house price inflation goes up and down?

The subtitle of your Paper Monitor ("A service highlighting the riches of the daily press") is WRONG. Unless I am much mistaken, Saturday and Sunday are days, and have newspapers published. Either you need to bring the frequency of your reporting up to that promised by your subtitle, or you need to change the subtitle to read "A service highlighting the riches of the weekday press"

Best Caption Comp winners for a very long time - much chuckling here, which is unusual for Friday afternoon. But I was very disappointed with Liz's letter listing why anyone born between the 1950s to the 1980s shouldn't be alive. Most of us had that mass email back in the 90s - perhaps MM isn't on anyone's group email?

I think it is rather harsh of the parents in to have "postponed Morgan's sixth birthday while they await the outcome of their application". At the rate planning permission usually works that boy is going to be five years old for quite some time.

Re 10 things, Seb Coe is partially colour blind. No he is not, nobody is. He has a partial colour vision deficiency. The term colour blind is not correct.He is likely to be an "anomalous trichromat" which means he has some red/green defiency in his colour vision.This is not unusual in men,but extremely rare in women.However,the gene responsible is passed through the female lineage.

Re Alex Swanson's observation that the word's "climate change" are just a "collection of letters" to the inventors of wireless energy. Presumably, the same could be said for Alex's attitude to the erst of the article otherwise he/she would have noticed that the scientists were not happy with the current level of efficiency but instead "The goal now is to... improve the efficiencies".

It might be me, but the seems to be lacking a few essentials, like bedrooms and a bathroom. And those stairs don't look right either.
