I've just delivered thousands of Labour party leaflets and I've become a bit of an expert on letterboxes (Report, 4 May). Why do they design them too high up? Too low down? Too tight springs? Too strong draught excluders? Too elegant to find? Vertical? (Vertical!). You scrape your hand getting your leaflet in and, if the dog doesn't nip your finger, the spring will catch it. Hasn't Billy Hayes got anything to say?

• Why did the obituary of Osama bin Laden (3 May) take precedence over that of Sir Henry Cooper? In fact, why was it there at all, when 16 pages had already been devoted to the death of this terrorist?

• Lovely obituary on our 'enry. Shame though that there was no mention that he was a committed anti-racist and co-founder of the Anti-Nazi League in the 1970s. One of the reasons he wasn't too keen on "jingoistic adulation" and walked away from boxing commentary.

• Me, aged seven, and my sister, aged 10, on the Silver Jubilee from Newcastle to King's Cross, on our own in the care of the guard, and having lunch in the dining car in July 1938 (Farewell to all that, G2, 4 May). Waiters in white coats, silver cutlery, I remember there was fish, which I liked, and ice-cream. Then a trip to the speedometer as we crossed Yorkshire at 100mph. Never to be forgotten.

• Being a son of one the dinner-jacketed voluntary stewards at the newly opened Festival Hall, I enjoyed your Archive (4 May). I was slightly puzzled by the Queen being dressed in crinolene. Was this one of those shiny, artificial fabrics which were to supercede all natural fibres in the bright modern world of the 50s.
