Last weekend I stood outside my local RSB branch asking people to sign a petition protesting about the bonuses paid out by that bank (Report, 21 March). Over 150 people signed. There are 2,400 branches of banks in the RBS group, including Nat West and Ulster Bank; if just one person did what I did at each branch they could collect 360,000 signatures. If five people each collected at each branch the number would be 1,800,000. Maybe someone would listen then.

• Angus Thompson (Letters, 22 March) suggests that the rule about oysters and months with an "r" in is concerned with flavour. Not so. The real reason is that filter-feeding shellfish may have consumed toxic flagellates sieved from the plankton during those months. The bivalves, when eaten, can cause paralytic shellfish poisoning. It is safe to eat lobsters, crabs and winkles, which are not filter feeders, at any time.

• Your recent features on the fortunes of Tunstall Town FC have obviously inspired them – last Saturday they scored a goal (Silver foxes in the box are toothless but still smiling, 14 March). Unfortunately the opposition scored 14 in reply, but it's a start.

• I'm sure Joe Moran's marginalia are brilliantly erudite and a lesson for the peasants, but he should realise how very irritating they find it to borrow a library book only to find some idiot has scribbled all over it (Comment, 23 March).

• Good to see the BBC is beginning to cut itself down to size (Report, 23 March). What about its five orchestras? It could lose two and contract the work out to the independent ones facing Arts Council cuts. That way everyone wins.

• I expect that readers will be interested to know that the girl in the tennis poster was holding a Dunlop Alpha (Report, 23 March). I've still got mine.
