Your editorial is a timely reminder of the power of the teapot as a conversation starter (In praise of… teapots, 31 May). On 9 June, hundreds of supporters of some of the UK's largest aid agencies, including ActionAid, will be coming to Westminster from around the country to lobby their MPs on aid and development at Tea Time for Change. Over a cuppa and a cake, they will make their views known on how the UK can play its part in tackling global poverty.

• It's 1 June, and therefore the 10th anniversary of National Write-to-the-Guardian Day (Letters, 1 June 2001, 2002 etc). In response to Pamela Butler's query (Notes & Queries, 31 May 2001), I think it is now safe to say that, short of additional resources and support, the establishment of such annual days is probably close to impossible. To the best of my knowledge (and as far as failing memory has allowed), I alone have celebrated this day over the past decade.

• In his justified complaint about the neglect of Rabindranath Tagore's works in this country (Brain Food, G2, 31 May), Aditya Chakrabortty recommends three new books, but fails to notice Hesperus Press's two new Tagore translations issued this month, Boyhood Days and Farewell Song.

• Resurgence magazine has devoted the whole of its May/June issue to celebrating the life and work of Rabindranath Tagore.

• With his voice literally coming out of the woodwork of National Trust benches (Report, May 31), there truly seems to be no escaping Stephen Fry. I for one won't take this sitting down.

• In response to Neil Muir's worries about lack of enough charging points for electric cars (Letters, 30 May), we will do what we always do: form an orderly queue.
