Many of those arrested in Parliament Square were pensioners (Half of arrests at Palestine Action ban protest were 60 or over, data shows, 10 August). It is clear that this group are out to cause trouble. The government should create a stay-at-home order for anyone over 65; at the very least they should not be allowed to gather in large groups. Exceptions allowed for garden centres and the House of Lords.

• Having collected every single Feast magazine since January 2018, I now need a solution to the accompanying storage burden. Gail’s bakery bags will do for now, but all suggestions considered. Alternatively, if there were to be a change in format or size I would be freed from my compulsion. Help!

• Years ago, during a family hike in a dull part of Normandy on a damp day, my young son looked downcast. “Don’t you like this holiday?” we asked. His reply: “I’d rather be at home watching Blue Peter with a cup of tea” (Letters, 13 August). This has since become the standard family response to any similar unappealing situation.
