Phones, letters, e-mails

Among the audience response to the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ in the past 24 hours were calls complaining that ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Two's Daily Politics was biased against the Conservative party, and others claiming it was biased against the Labour party. Some callers thought generally ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ News had given Michael Owen's injury too high a priority. Several complained at the degree of football coverage on radio and TV. One complaint said it was wrong to refer to 21 June as "the longest day", since all days are 24 hours long.
We also received this e-mail, which proves the value of giving as much information as possible:
I did not see anywhere anything that told us what wine the Queen had with the meal that was cooked for her 80th celebration Lots about the food but could you let me know what wine they had with each course?

Semantics! Day as opposed to night. Some people take life too literally!
On the subject of the solstice, it was good to see positive coverage of the religious aspect of it on the front page (linked) but odd not to also see information on the astronomical meaning.
