ONCE-a-gain I've popped-a-cross to my local news-agent to pick up my Evening Press and, after a look around inside, found two references in the same article to mysterious people called "look-a-likes" (June 27).

Could these be connected in any way to the disappearance of any "look-alikes", not seen in your paper for some time now? Please will you check-a-round and tell us what it's all-a-bout.

Come-a-long now, please stop adding meaningless hyphens in the middle of words, that's something that I'm ad-a-mant I can't-a-bide.
