I am a twin. One thing that grated when my sister and I were growing up was the constant reference to us as “the twins” or “one of the twins”. You aren’t an individual. You’re something different, not even just sisters but a twin. Is it relevant to your report (Care home that lets people live in the past, 6 October) that Damian and Danny are twins? No. Brothers yes, but twins? No. Why use the word three times? Does “his twins” sound natural? No; “his sons” would have.

• The adjuvanted vaccine that your report talks about (Hopes that modified flu vaccine will cut deaths of over-65s, 12 September) is not currently available, and NHS England say it won’t be until the end of November. Is this just a way of killing some of us off and saving the NHS a chunk of money?

• If Lambeth council objects to the word “bollocks” (Report, 6 October), then the Pimlico Plumbers founder only needs to change the poster to read “Ballcocks to Brexit”. Job done.
