As the £360 tickets for next year’s Glastonbury festival have sold out (Report, 19 November), may I suggest that those disappointed buy season tickets to watch Peterborough United next year? For the same cost, purchasers will see a whole season of football. We are blessed by an uninterrupted view and plenty of nearby toilets. We are also safe in the knowledge that my wife doesn’t have to sit on my shoulders for the whole match.

• Well done, the Grauniad. Not a single apostrophe error in the article (Hampshire villagers bring street’s apostrophe catastrophe to a full stop, 17 November). The Apostrophe Protection Society will be overjoyed. Now let’s get back to the Oxford comma debate.

• From time to time, I have occasion to send a letter to an address in Butchers (Butcher’s/Butchers’) road in Canning Town. Can anyone enlighten me as to which is the most appropriate spelling?

• Dead whales are at risk of exploding (How do you get rid of a beached whale before it explodes?, 17 November). A metaphor for the Conservative party that has written itself.
