Your account of the effect of Brexit on Poles living here (‘It all changed in 2016’, 28 January) saddened me, as did the following exchange overheard in the swimming pool here: “Dad, are you Polish?” “Aye son, and your Mum’s Polish too – and you’re Polish.” Small boy: “No way! I’m Scottish!” I wondered what he had overheard in the playground in this most pro-European town in this most pro-European nation of the UK.

• I wonder if Theresa May would give me £39bn for my car? I won’t take a penny less and if she asks me again for concessions, I’ll tell her to get stuffed. After all, it’s a better deal than the Eurocrats have given her.
