I was educated to A-level standard in the imperial 50s and 60s, but have the wit to appreciate the logic and ease of use of the decimal system. It is easier to understand for those whose education matters most - our children. B Harrison, Aylesford, Kent ——————————————————————————————————3/10— 60 words max. Letters may be amended.

Dear Teletext Why this concern about Nick Ljeson standing trial in Singapore? If hj had murdered someone in Singapord, would hj have expected a trial in England? I do not think so. Hopefully, hj will receive a se6jre sentence over there. In Rome, one must do as the Romans do. This should discourage others.
