Might I suggest a solution to the Prince Andrew dilemma (The Windsors are all about forgiving and forgetting – when it comes to Prince Andrew, 29 August)? I propose a royal wedding. The Church of Scotland allows divorcees to wed in the kirk, so a little service at Crathie to join Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, attended by the Firm, would be a happy outcome. Throw in a three-bed flat near a golf course and wish them a long and happy life together, well away from the public eye.

• Rosemary Chamberlin quotes her grandmother saying: “A whistling woman and a cackling hen, ain’t no good to God nor men” (Letters, 29 August). As another whistling woman, the phrase as I remember it compares us to a “crowing hen”, as hens cackle but only cocks crow.

• Re the mental health workshops for border staff suffering from stress while dealing with the small boats crisis (Report, 30 August), will any occupants of the boats be invited to attend these sessions? They must surely qualify for such help.

• There has been increasing interest in the health benefits of a good night’s sleep. Should we be concerned that so many politicians say they are working “night and day” to achieve their policy targets?

• Tally the sea turtle, who washed up on the north Wales coast in 2021, is being flown back to Texas (Report, 30 August). Will Suella Braverman chalk this up to her “get tough” policy on migrants?
