Odd that: a recent relationship involving a senior Tory MP and a sex worker (Editorial, 14 April) is judged not to be “in the public interest” by the tabloids, but the mere suggestion of an ancient relationship involving the leader of the opposition and a future Labour MP is splashed all over the broadsheets. I wonder why.

• I was surprised to see the cauliflower described as humble (How the cauli got hip, G2, 14 April). It used to be considered rather grand. Hence Mark Twain’s remark: “Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.”

• The Disney version is far from being “the original” Jungle Book film (Peter Bradshaw, 13 April). Some of us remember Sabu in the 1942 Korda classic and it was not a musical either.

• Exotic reasons for train delays (Letters, 13 April) surely get no better than one I once heard that involved changes to the space-time continuum. As the train from London pulled in to Norwich, the train manager apologised for its late arrival, saying this was due to “the gradual loss of time during the journey”.
