Your article (Royal Mail second-class delivery cuts will take ‘many months’ to roll out, 1 September) raised a wry smile in our household. We have not had a regular mail delivery since 2020. It has gone from weekly to irregular to the present situation where we haven’t had any mail for a month. We look forward to getting mail on alternate days – it will be a novelty.

• Adrian Chiles asks if anyone can save him from the doom loop of hold music (Hold music is eating my soul …, 4 September). When I called the RSPB reserve at Leighton Moss recently I was treated to birdsong.
