I was pleasantly surprised at first when I was asked on my NHS application if I still wanted to remain on a waiting list for minor surgery (Almost 10 million people in England could be on the NHS waiting list on April 3). I now wonder if it was more about the government’s method of reducing waiting lists rather than my medical need.

I read your print headline”Invertebrate animal of the year: Celebrating the diverse and spineless creatures of the UK” (April 13) and wondering why it’s not in the politics section.

My mother came home from her teaching job as head of English very angry about a decision made by senior management (Letters, April 11). She sat down and wrote two poems: Elegy on the Death of a Senior Mistress, and Epitaph for a Head. Then, feeling much better, she proceeded to make us dinner.

Regarding the suggestion of dashboard-mounted shredders for those with anger management issues, I have a little dashboard-mounted Buddha that, by the mere act of touching it, dispels any anger and provides satellite navigation to the moral high ground.
