I surely can’t be the only Guardian reader who, on seeing the headline “Pow! Man in Batman costume chases down suspected Norwich handbag thief” (theguardian.com, 25 September), immediately thought of the Only Fools and Horses scene in which Del and Rodney, dressed as Batman and Robin, foil a handbag robbery.

• Jo Bannon could recycle her mum’s school reports (Letters, 27 September). My husband’s are now laminated placemats, and a source of great entertainment at family gatherings, with their excoriating pronouncements that he is “still happy to be a silly boy” who is “satisfied with mediocrity”. It certainly puts him in his place!
