Dear Kath Viner, after reading Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett’s article about letters addressed to Dear Sir and contributions by more men than women (Open door, 21 March), I counted the number of letters published in Monday’s paper. There were 13 written by men, two by women. I thought I’d do my bit today and write to Dear Kath. Perhaps we can have a running score or a league table?

• For five months the media has been telling us that Labour is deeply and bitterly divided. It now seems (Tories plunge into open warfare, 21 March) that the Tory party is deeply and bitterly divided. Ah well! We all make mistakes.

• As one of the pensioners who will be several hundred pounds better off as a result of last week’s budget, and whose vote George Osborne presumably thinks he’s bought, I just want to say, and urge others like me to say, “George, no! Not in my name!”

• Monday’s quick crossword would have been even quicker if the clue for 18 across had referred to health instead of heath. It makes an L of a difference.

• On 6 February this year I cooked Felicity Cloake’s flourless chocolate cake. Two of the eggs I used (from our allotment chickens) had been in my larder since 10 July 2015. The whites frothed up beautifully and the cake was delicious (‘There’s nothing wrong with a bit of mould’, G2, 21 March).

• I’m all for unsoiled bed linen (Clean sheets key to keeping title in Leicester’s sights, 21 March). That Spurs’ are likely to need laundering is just revenge for their having robbed 10-man Leicester in the 1961 cup final.
