Oh dear! Now I will never get a visa to go to the US as I am sure that I have emailed quite a few letters to the Guardian critical of Donald Trump in the last few years (Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan, 10 December).

• Surely NHS flu advice should be for those with symptoms to stay at home and recover, rather than wander around outside wearing a face mask and spreading germs (People urged to wear masks when they are ill as UK faces ‘tidal wave’ of flu, 9 December).

• I feel compelled to point out that £28 for a scented candle would not be considered affordable (or a priority) by many here in Merseyside, nor, I suspect, in numerous other parts of the UK (The best scented candles in the UK: 17 affordable, genuinely great-smelling candles – tested, 10 December).
