Letters: Just say no to the Duchy Originals

Regardless of how anyone feels about Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, as former prime ministers, that they were not invited to the wedding is an absolute disgrace and an insult to all Labour supporters (Comment, 29 April). Coming on top of Cameron's spiteful comments on Gordon Brown and the IMF job, it shows the arrogant attitude of the government and establishment. It is something Labour leaders should remember when next in power.

• If Martin Kettle is correct about Prince Charles being behind the snub to Gordon Brown and Tony Blair, it's surely time for us Labour party members to boycott Duchy Originals.

• At least the carpet was red.

• The "apsolutely" count went tiresomely stratospheric during the radio coverage of the wedding. I was, however, amused to hear a cut-glass variant which extends to two words – "ep slootley".

• I wonder if the royal couple realise just how close they were to becoming the Duke and Duchess of Ambridge.

Toby Wood

Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

• Perhaps we could ask the people who organised the royal wedding to sort out the railways?

David Sutherland

Siddington, Gloucestershire

• I spent much of yesterday in the garden, pulling out weeds and cutting the grass. It was too early in the season to deadhead roses.

• I'm not a royal-watcher, so I don't know if it's true that "these two young people have been living together shamelessly" (Letters, 29 April). But if they have, I do hope it was shamelessly: it would mean that they've managed to escape one of the nastier aspects of Christianity – sexual guilt.

David Garner

Southport, Lancashire

• Having not bought the Guardian for many a year I thought I'd give it a go on royal wedding day for some reason. I have to say I really enjoyed the journalism and comment but, judging by the content of your letters page, your readers really do seem to be a boorish po-faced bunch and need to cheer up a bit.
