• I’ve ruled out a revolution because they always end in bloodshed and tyranny so the only answer is a general strike. If parliament refuses to operate then so must everyone else. It’s a bit of a problem for us pensioners though.

• As a student in the 60s I worked at Fletcher’s Bakery in Sheffield during the holidays, a nine-mile cycle ride away. During my short break I was able to check the delivery vans and on most occasions they did have cakes and pies left over from the previous deliveries. I confess to not being able to resist the temptation (Letters, 29 August). Their custard tarts made the long ride a little more acceptable.

• Our border collie, Jess, is not vegan (Give your dog a plant-based bone, 31 August), but is very happy scrumping under our apple and pear trees. She has even been known to pick pears from low-hanging branches!
