Michael Rosen (Letter from a curious parent, 26 June) attributes the “It’s deja vu all over again” quote to a football commentator. It is generally attributed to the baseball catcher Yogi Berra. Among his many other memorable quotes is: “Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours.”

• “Where do others hide their jewellery and other valuables when they go on holiday?” we are asked (You’re the expert, 30 June). The mind boggles. Are you assuming burglars don’t read the Guardian? Surely it is advisable to keep your secret hiding places – well – secret.

• A meerkat in the fresco at the Duomo of San Gimignano in Tuscany (Letters, 30 June)? They were lucky. Monty Python’s Michaelangelo’s Last Supper had a kangaroo and 28 disciples. The pope wanted it with no such marsupial and “with 12 disciples and one Christ”. Michaelangelo: “One?!?!”

• The “gangsters” who stole our Morris Minor (Letters, passim) in the 1980s dumped it on a double yellow line outside a London police station. It took the Met three days to find it.

• Thursday’s dark blue masthead was terrific – dignified and distinctive. Please, can we adopt it full-time?

Danielle Rowley MP says “the average cost of a period in the UK over a year is £500” (Sorry, I’m late, I’ve been on my period, MP informs Commons, 29 June). It’s a long time since I had a period, but my local chemist sells a box of 20 Tampax for £2.29
