Sign of a wet sense of humour in Somerset | Brief letters

Spoof street signs | Chris Rea | Hello, pumpkin | Trump takeover | Missing top TV | How are you?

Christchurch in New Zealand isn’t the only place where spoof signs appear (‘Slightly haunted but manageable’: new signs cause confusion – and delight – in Christchurch, 22 December). After the floods of winter 2013-14, an addition to the “Welcome to Somerset” road sign on the A39 read “Twinned with Atlantis”.

• In a report after the death of Chris Rea (Obituary, 22 December), the BBC said: “His love of cars and driving was the inspiration behind many of his songs.” Not too surprising really, since his full name was Christopher Anton Rea. Nominative determinism at its best.
