We’ve had Donald Trump stating his designs on Greenland, on Canada and now on the pope’s position (Trump accused of ‘mocking’ Catholics after posting image of himself as pope, 4 May). His Majesty had better watch out when Trump susses out the possibility of obtaining regal headgear if he visits later this year.

• I believe the name Kevin became popular in Germany after Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York came out in the 1990s (Letters, 1 May). The German titles are Kevin – Allein zu Hause and Kevin – Allein in New York.

• I am shocked that two Cornwall residents seem unaware that the only way to enjoy a chocolate digestive biscuit is topped with clotted cream (Letters, 6 May).

• Chocolate digestives fade into insignificance alongside a Border dark chocolate and ginger biscuit. You can eat it either way up as the chocolate goes all the way around the outside.

• I still use my grandmother’s carving knife and fork, which must be 100 years old (Letters, 5 May). And it’s still the sharpest knife in the box.
