QUITE a lot of coverage was devoted to the latest idiocy to occupy our idle young. I refer to the subject of ‘planking’ (The Press, June 22).

It is clear to me that you have made a serious spelling error. Surely it should be ‘plonking’, this is defined as any activity dreamed up by those with very little else to do.

This explains the origins in that wonderful land known as Oz, from whence has come many priceless pieces of lunacy in the past such as Bungee jumping.
