The suggestion that the Oasis gigs will “inject £940 million into the UK economy” (Will it be rowdier than the rugby? Cardiff gears up for Oasis reunion opening night , 3 July) is the type of thing said about any big events, but I suspect that there is no injection, as it’s not “new” money being created: people chose to spend their pre-existing cash on one thing instead of something else. Certainly as a Cardiff resident I won’t feel any financial benefit from the Oasis gig.

• It has been alleged that Palestine Action caused £7m of damage to two Voyager planes at RAF Brize Norton. I would like to recommend my new business to the RAF – I would clean their planes of red paint for the bargain price of £5m, thus saving the government £2m. A bargain. Where can I apply?
