Hamdi El-Gazzar Hello and welcome to Mailbox. Thank you very much for all your feedback, including reception reports and of course, you quiz answers. Before we get to those, here are some of your recent e-mails.

Mohamed Elsayed Abd Elraheim from Egypt responded to Radio Pragues coverage of this years Prague Writers’ Festival:

Thank you for the interview and dialogue with the Egyptian novelist Hamdi El-Gazzar who participated in the Prague Writers’ Festival.

Colin Law from New Zealand alerted us to an amusing typo he spotted in our e-mail news bulletin:

Thanks for the laugh when I read the Radio Prague news this morning! So what is the age when a driver should give up driving and shooting?

According to the news story, police in Prague arrested a 256-year-old driver who had tried to ram their car off the road. Of course, he was ten times younger and we apologize for the typo.

Roger Tidy from London responds to this weeks One on One:

Jindich dlo, photo: Hospodsk noviny/Martin Svozlek I enjoyed listening to your interview with Jindich dlo. I thought, however, that he was a little too complimentary about British journalism, which he thought was superior to the Czech product. His basis for saying this was his one month’s experience at The Times in London. The Times is indeed a good paper, but as recent events concerning phone hacking by certain other British papers have shown, there is much that is rotten in British journalism, and in this respect it is hardly a good model.

Thank you for your comments and now onto our monthly quiz:
