Is the Guardian now targeting gen Z readers? We’ve had features on “micro-efficiencies” (laying out your clothes or breakfast the night before), paying with cash and now not using weather apps (I stopped checking the weather forecast – and got a series of wonderful surprises, 26 May). We, um, older readers have always done these things. What next? The joy of posting birthday cards? Arranging to meet a friend and just turning up at the agreed time and place?

• Over 50 years ago, between sets, I found myself next to Sonny Rollins (Obituary, 26 May) in the gents at Ronnie Scott’s. I mentioned it was the birthday of my friend, the late David Dodd. In the second set, the unmistakable strains of Happy Birthday crept up into one of his improvisations. Never forgotten.
