Dear Sir, At last someone has had the guts to put Ray Fleming in his place and I applaud the articulate way Hugh Ash did so in his open letter in Thursday's paper.

For a change it made interesting reading, instead of the same old P.R about the poor Palestinians and their lame-brained leaders, who've never had the sense to see the benefits that peace with Israel can bring them.

When they are worthy of their own state, only then will they deserve one.

Dear Sir, Hugh Ash's letter in the Bulletin on Thursday was a refreshingly honest and accurate analysis of Israel's legitimacy, and its attempts to make peace with an implacable enemy who won't even recognise its existence.

It also highlighted how biased Ray Fleming's coverage of the Middle East has been for too long and as a regular reader I can only hope that in future the Bulletin will give further space to oulining Israel's position.

More balance and fairness please! Charles Baird

Dear Sir, We've recently returned from Majorca and never fail to be delighted by the beauty of Spanish hotels with their marble floors, excellent design and cleanliness.

Britain could learn a great deal from Spain about how to build attractive buildings enhanced by their use of colourful flowers.
Spain could also learn from UK on safety. For instance, public steps should always have a line in a contrasting colour along the edge of each step, to make sure steps are clearly visible. Too often in Spain it is not easy to notice unexpected steps in shops and hotels etc. The simple measure of marking the edge of steps could prevent many broken bones!

Dear Sir, While we enjoy an Indian summer here in the UK - triggered by the Majorcan ‘heatwave' according to forecasters - many of us check the official website www.eltiempo.es for the weather for the week ahead with you.

What took my eye today wasn't the forecast for another week of glorious sunshine - but adverts and weblinks for the Greek tourist trade plastering the site.

After a difficult summer for Majorca, and a quiet winter ahead thanks to further flight cutbacks, this seems to be a bizarre own goal to promote a rival hotspot.

Despite the weather, it appears in Majorca that as far as shooting itself in its foot is concerned, it never rains but it pours.
