| As a lifelong Rolling Stones fan who fully recognises their genuine respect for the blues and its heritage (Reviews, G2, 25 November), I find it all the more disappointing that their (black) bass player Darryl Jones is not included in band photos and still appears to be treated as a mere hired hand, 23 years after he replaced Bill Wyman.Graham LarkbeyLondon | As a lifelong Rolling Stones fan who fully recognises their genuine respect for the blues and its heritage (Reviews, G2, 25 November), I find it all the more disappointing that their (black) bass player Darryl Jones is not included in band photos and still appears to be treated as a mere hired hand, 23 years after he replaced Bill Wyman.Graham LarkbeyLondon |

Truth is the agents just got too greedy, 26 November).Mette MarstonLondon | • No wonder there are so many estate agents – I learn that not only do they charge me as a landlord a fee for making the inventory of the flat at the change of tenants, they charge the tenant as well (Unfair letting fees ban?

| • Is it really such a shock that Ed’s gone (Last dance for Balls as he steps out of Strictly, 28 November)? Perhaps the voters who challenged the system by backing someone with little expertise beyond buffoonery withdrew their support when they realised where it might lead. Strangely comforting.John CranstonNorwich | • Is it really such a shock that Ed’s gone (Last dance for Balls as he steps out of Strictly, 28 November)?
