Like Jane Nielsen (Jacket required, G2, 6 August), I first encountered Spudulike in Edinburgh. But she missed out on a very Scottish filling – haggis and neeps, the perfect combination.

• I live at Saltburn-by-the-Sea on the Yorkshire coast, south of Newbiggin, and witness spectacular sunrises and sunsets, obviously not in exactly the same position but nevertheless over the sea (Letters, 6 August).

• Our addition to Edward Helmore’s list of points on the Rolling Stones timeline that “it would be great to be transported back to” (Stones give ever more satisfaction, 7 August): Eel Pie Island, Twickenham, 1963, where the Rolling Stones played and we met. Just as Mick, Keith and Charlie are still together, so are we.
Jeane and David Lepper
Brighton
• Surely tucking your socks over long trousers and gaiters as “belt and braces” is one anti-tick tactic that has not been ticked off yet (Letters, 5 August)?
Elaine Steane
Oxford
• I agree with Geoff Lavender (Letters, 5 August) that My Funny Valentine merits a place in the list of Miles Davis’s 10 greatest albums. I was equally surprised by the omission of Davis’s sublime improvised soundtrack to Louis Malle’s film Ascenseur Pour L’échafaud (1958). The music is so evocative that subtitles are almost redundant.
Mike Pender
Cardiff
• I find a glass of milk far more effective (The trouble with antacids, 5 August).

•Beautiful front page (Toni Morrison 1931-2019, 7 August). Thank you.
