Swifties assemble?

No moon parties then…
Stephen jokes that a newly discovered cave on the Moon could be used as a nightclub for goths (MetroTalk, Thu). There’s no point having a nightclub on the Moon as there will be no atmosphere. Richard Firth, Shipley
He may have resigned as manager but he has brought England out of the international wilderness and made them serious contenders again.
They have to lose that Three Lions song, though. Otherwise – to quote your front page on Monday – the Lions will be weeping again on another night.
I certainly wept when The Lion Sleeps Tonight knocked A Town Called Malice by The Jam off the top of the charts in 1982. Dec, Essex
Thank you for your lovely, touching tribute to Gareth Southgate (Metro, Wed). It even made me, who is not a football fan, tear up. Well done! Linda, Harrogate
A knighthood for failure?
Scott (MetroTalk, Thu) says Gareth Southgate should get a knighthood. I totally disagree with that nonsense.
As England manager, he has never won anything, so he would be getting knighted for failure.
In addition, knighthoods perpetuate the class divide. Surely there are other ways of showing your appreciation? Alfie Mullin, West London
Dirty, dumb and dangerous
The poor man in Yeovil who had a seizure in bed that panicked his dog into mauling his face (Metro, July 9) is the victim of one of many dog attacks.
You reported on a sausage dog that seriously disfigured a lady in Swansea in April. Dogs are the three Ds: dirty, dumb and dangerous. Cats, though, are clean, clever and cuddly. Eric, Birmingham
What’s an ‘expat’ and sort it out West Ham station
Why do British people living abroad refer to themselves as expats when they are actually immigrants? T, Glasgow
Well done to staff at London’s West Ham station who are guarding the barriers and guiding people to use the correct line.
For a couple of months I was wondering how hard it was to follow a simple arrow. West Ham is the worst station in London in terms of people using the wrong lanes. Milch, Chigwell
Too many reviews of our situations…
I said to my brother to wait and see how long it takes a Labour government to set up ‘committees’ to compensate for a lack of policies.
And surprise! We already have reviews into the NHS and defence. We can expect ones on planning, climate change, illegal immigration and transport.
Sir Keir Starmer’s election mantra was ‘change’. I hope he has paid attention to the words of French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr: ‘Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.’ (Ed note: that means ‘What goes around, comes around’)RA Haynes, Eltham
