When the 11-plus test went to the dogs | Brief letters

Philip Allen’s suggestion (Letters, 5 November) that the cat is the odd one out between cat, dog and radio is questionable. It could be any. The dog is the only one that cannot lull you to sleep with lovely sound, the radio doesn’t have four legs and the cat doesn’t require a licence. If we are looking for people who can think originally, this sort of question is pernicious.
