While appreciating Kenneth Williams’ humour, I felt uneasy that your article (‘He loved showing his bum. Loved it’: the subversive genius of Kenneth Williams, 20 February) didn’t simply state he had racist attitudes. Referring to a dislike of Sid James and people of colour seems to water down unacceptable views.

• When I can’t sleep because my brain is too busy, I have my own method of “cognitive shufflng” (I tried the latest sleep trick – and my husband and I were up all night, 18 February). I choose a subject and try to think of an example for each letter of the alphabet. I’ve tried flowers, animals, birds and the periodic table. It sometimes works.

• The rapacious relish with which most of the media are pursuing, and garnishing, every morsel of this unedifying saga brings to mind Oscar Wilde’s view of foxhunting.
