Nadia Khomami’s entertaining article on the proliferation of nightlife options for those of us in our 40s and 50s rightly made a distinction between Fred Wedlock’s tragic “oldest swinger in town” and today’s middle-aged partygoers (Annie Mac to launch club night ending at 12am ‘for people who need sleep’, 1 April). Grey-haired revellers in 1981 are likely to have been fish out of water, with no comparable experiences from their youth. I still enjoy clubbing, and the experience is not so far removed from UK nightlife in the 1990s. And we do sometimes continue after midnight.

• We have enjoyed early-hours clubbing (with a cocktail bar, of course) for many years in Shipley thanks to Front Room Disco and Groovers in the Heart. What took London so long to catch up?
