The wonderful and classless Morris Minor (Letters, 7 June) also had a lovely smiley front end, as did the VW Beetle, the true People’s Car, and numerous other cars years ago. So many of today’s cars have aggressive faces, frowning and scowling, rather like samurai masks. Could more friendly-looking cars lead to better driving and safer roads?

• I am an enormous fan of Martin Rowson, but to use one of Britain’s most venerable and loved cars – a Morris 1000 Traveller – in his cartoon (5 June) is surely inappropriate. An Austin Allegro or a Morris Marina would have been a better choice to represent the mode of transport of our disaster-prone government.

• TV producers don’t need to go back to the last century to find another scandal to dramatise (A few more very English scandals, G2, 6 June). The Chris Huhne affair would make compulsive viewing, especially if Rupert Graves, Anna Chancellor and Olivia Colman were playing the corners of the triangle.

• As usual I had a real titter over John Crace’s column (7 June) and have a new name for Theresa May, which is Maypole because everyone in her government appears to be dancing erratically around her unbending and rigid frame with very little rhythm and no sense of legitimate direction.

• Finding myself as a lone traveller, I couldn’t help but notice your advert “tours curated for the solo traveller” (5 June) and the small print below where it says that “prices are based on two people sharing”.
