Gaby Hinsliff talks about students boomeranging as a negative (Think it’s time for gen Z to ‘grow up’? You’re even more out of touch than the British state, 18 September). Our daughter came back to live with us after four years of university while she collected her thoughts and planned her next steps. This boomerang year was a rewarding experience that we all welcomed and wouldn’t have missed. Enjoy it!

• Maybe Nick Clegg should use his windfall to help all those he let down in 2010 after failing to try to abolish student loans (Nick Clegg could make £30m windfall from datacentre startup Nscale flotation, 22 September).

• Your correspondent is fortunate that she will not need to wear a tie should she be elevated to the Lords (Letters, 21 September). Her daughter, however, may have to wear one when she goes to secondary school. Why?

• How is Daniel Thomas an activist (Far-right activist Daniel Thomas slashes dinghy in Channel with blade while rescue worker onboard, 22 September)? Slashing a boat with someone on it is not activism, it’s criminal.

• The Gardeners’ World presenter Monty Don throwing in the trowel (Letters, 18 September)? No, he’s just reached a fork in the road.

• Clashing weather forecasts (Letters, 18 September)? I just look out of the window.
