Congratulations to Alan Rusbridger on his time as editor and I wish him well in his new role (Report, 11 December). I can’t think of a better place to commend his work than in the letters page of Britain’s finest newspaper, which he has steered through difficult times. I still look forward to reading the paper as much today as I did in 1980.

• Surely the Roger Bird story (Letters, 10 December) was nominative determinism.
