A dentist friend (Letters, 8 February) tells of a patient who came in to be fitted with a full set of dentures. There had been a long delay due to problems in the technicians’ workshop. He apologised to the patient for the delay, and hoped he had not been too inconvenienced. “Not at all – I’ve been using these,” said the patient, producing a full set of dentures made from Lego bricks and Plastic Padding. They even contained two or three windows.

• Re Martin Kettle’s article about Donald Tusk’s comment (Journal, 7 February), there should be a “special place in hell” for all those who worked to enlarge the EU beyond the half-dozen countries we thought we joined in the 70s – which precipitated the problems leading to Brexit.

• Steve Bell’s cartoon, with the line “Who needs hell when you’ve got the Conservative party?” 7 February), is transcendently brilliant. Comparable to the cones hotline and the defeated Thatcher being carried by Tarzan.

• At my boarding school tickling was used as a form of non-discriminatory peer torture (Letters, 6 February). One was selected, five others held them down, and feet were tickled until the victim begged for mercy. Boarding school was very boring.
