For those who own a Morris Minor (Letters, passim), may I offer the following advice. If you’re stuck in the back blocks of Morocco because of fuel vaporisation, as two hippies were in 1970, I remember applying the offending pipe with the contents of an aerosol can of foot odour spray to cool it down. Worked a treat. We then proceeded to Marrakech, of which I remember little.

• A fellow student at medical school in the late 60s customised his Morris Minor by exchanging the standard gear stick for a human humerus (provenance unknown) that did the job just as well.

• Susan Major (Letters, 28 June) asks whether women still put their bras on back to front and twist them around. My husband pointed this article out to me and remarked that all the time he has known me (over 30 years), I’ve always put my bra on back to front and swivelled it around. I decided to test this further and can report that both my twin sister, close friends and my granddaughter (who’s 13) are all proud swivellers.

• So there is a severe shortage of CO2. The question is whether it will be solved rapidly. I hope everyone isn’t holding their breath.
