Wendy Bradley’s suggestion for giving water company directors a tipple from the waters of their constituency is great (Letters, 10 April). The Green party got there first. Since last September, we’ve been offering Tory MPs a bottle of Chateau Sewage, drawn from their constituencies. Photos available. Strangely, MPs seem less keen to send those pictures around than more intimate ones. If anyone would like to offer bottles, labels can be downloaded from the campaigns committee website.

• Please don’t refer to Donald Trump’s trial as a “hush-money trial” (Trump’s hush-money trial: key takeaways from the first day, 15 April). It’s a trial about alleged election interference. It’s about Trump’s efforts to hide the truth from voters in order to win the 2016 election. Calling it a “hush-money trial” trivialises its importance.

• I greatly envied David Nicholls’ lone walking experiences in the countryside (‘Thirsty, wet, desolate. The dream’: One Day author David Nicholls on the peculiar pleasure of long, soggy solo walks, 13 April) because, as a woman, I never feel safe in the very places – isolated and beautiful – that I love best. Is this just me, or an issue for many women?

• This morning, I banged a frying pan outside my window to thank the NHS for nursing John Crace back to sketch writing (15 April).

• The sort of Britain I want (Letters, 15 April)? It’s simple: a sensible, green, responsible Britain. None of which we have at the moment.
