• NOT another Soho strip joint that would “show nudes” etc after such efforts to create an upmarket new image (Penthouse licence bid for the old Madame Jojo’s site in the balance, February 28).

The civilised way to go is Baroness Bertin’s challenging review into pornography websites, to make the worst excesses illegal for the online world, not cheapening and vulgarising Soho as though we were back in the 1950s.

Strip joints lower the tone.
