I was sad to see no mention of Margate, where TS Eliot worked on The Waste Land, in your feature about the poem’s 100th birthday (‘It takes your hand off the panic button’, 6 April): “On Margate Sands / I can connect / Nothing with nothing.” Never mind, the fact is commemorated on a plaque on a linguistically appropriate building on the prom, ie on the toilets.
