| While I agree with Giles Fraser (Loose canon, 17 November) that God’s forgiveness is offered freely, whatever the sin, there is a proviso. The sinner must acknowledge their sin and ask for forgiveness. With the forgiveness comes God’s instruction: “Go, and sin no more.”Val SpougeBraintree, Essex | While I agree with Giles Fraser (Loose canon, 17 November) that God’s forgiveness is offered freely, whatever the sin, there is a proviso.

| • Decca Aitkenhead, interviewing Michelle Dockery in last Saturday’s Weekend magazine, told us the Downton Abbey actress came from “the Essex town of Chadwell Heath”. That’s rather like describing Brighton as a Sussex fishing village or Stratford International as the gateway to Paris and Europe. The northern part of Barking and Dagenham was swallowed by London’s postwar urban sprawl and officially left Essex in 1964.Neil LevisLondon | • Decca Aitkenhead, interviewing Michelle Dockery in last Saturday’s Weekend magazine, told us the Downton Abbey actress came from “the Essex town of Chadwell Heath”.

| • I was interested to read of the social mobility of corduroy trousers (Report, 13 November).

| • I wish Alan Greenslade-Hibbert luck in his campaign to have “latte” pronounced like paté (Letters, 17 November). Can he add that in Italian “gi” is spoken as a “j” so it’s Don Joe vanni not Don Geo vanni. Then we could start on tiramisu.Dr John DohertyVienna, Austria | • I wish Alan Greenslade-Hibbert luck in his campaign to have “latte” pronounced like paté (Letters, 17 November).

| • Re the correct pronunciation of latte, it does not rhyme exactly with pâté, as the emphasis should be on the first syllable.
