To pee, or not to pee, RSC now has more cubicles for women To pee, or not to pee, RSC now has more cubicles for women

We are sorry for the inconvenience experienced by Gill Glover (Letters, 27 March) in using the toilets at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. We are grateful to have been made aware of the “oversharing” of the men’s facilities, and will resolve the problem straight away through a judicious rehanging of the door. The redevelopment of the theatre in 2010 enabled us to more than double the women’s cubicles available: we now have 47, compared with paltry 19 before the works.Catherine MallyonExecutive director, Royal Shakespeare CompanyWe are sorry for the inconvenience experienced by Gill Glover (Letters, 27 March) in using the toilets at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

• Boris Johnson’s “if I have offended” apology (Report, 28 March) is quite inadequate. I can’t speak for Emily Thornberry but he offended John Bercow, and he offended me. The occasion called for an unconditional apology for yet another flouting of the normal rules of civilised behaviour. He is an embarrassment to us all.Betty BirchLondon• Boris Johnson’s “if I have offended” apology (Report, 28 March) is quite inadequate.

• Good news that the governments of England and Scotland are to revert to the deposit scheme of 60 years ago (Report, 28 March). Say the wee boys’ warning with a Glaswegian glottal stop: “If yer faither goes teetottle / There’ll be naithin’ on the bottle.”Iain MackintoshLondon• Good news that the governments of England and Scotland are to revert to the deposit scheme of 60 years ago (Report, 28 March).

• When I buy delicatessen or cheeses at Carrefour supermarkets in France, they are wrapped in paper, before being placed in biodegradable bags. Not only is no plastic involved but the bags are the right size and composition for reuse in compost caddies. Why can’t English shops do the same to save the planet from ruin and help the customer save money?Carola Zentner London• When I buy delicatessen or cheeses at Carrefour supermarkets in France, they are wrapped in paper, before being placed in biodegradable bags.

• As I had passed my 11-plus in 1959 I was caned (once) by my teacher to “make the other [failed] pupils feel better”. I never did quite grasp the meaning of this psychological lesson (Letters, 28 March).Derek MiddlemissCollingham, Nottinghamshire• As I had passed my 11-plus in 1959 I was caned (once) by my teacher to “make the other [failed] pupils feel better”.
