| For part of my childhood in the 1950s we lived at Roker in Sunderland (J-force give Sunderland followers some respite, 12 July). Some of the Sunderland team had digs in our street and kicked a ball with us in the evening. I still have Billy Bingham’s autograph and have loved football ever since. Thank you, Louise Taylor, for the memories and hope.Jean JacksonSeer Green, Buckinghamshire | For part of my childhood in the 1950s we lived at Roker in Sunderland (J-force give Sunderland followers some respite, 12 July).

| • On the Shropshire Union Canal last week, I was delighted to pass Ian Grieve’s “Gordon Bennett” (Letters, passim), but surprised to note that, although an elegant craft, it is finished in a shade of grey with which I do not associate his prose.David Johnston“Waitangi”, Trent and Mersey Canal | • On the Shropshire Union Canal last week, I was delighted to pass Ian Grieve’s “Gordon Bennett” (Letters, passim), but surprised to note that, although an elegant craft, it is finished in a shade of grey with which I do not associate his prose.David Johnston“Waitangi”, Trent and Mersey Canal |
| • I’m glad (sorry) to confirm Dame Edna’s gladioli-chucking prowess (‘I defend my right to give deep offence’, G2, 12 July). I caught one in the front row of the dress circle at her show in 1989.
