As a former EastEnders fan, I can tell you that it is just as bad in Albert Square as in Weatherfield (‘People are getting murdered in knicker factories!’: how Coronation Street lost the plot, 2 April). I gave up watching around last November, tired of stories that have people doing things out of character, to fit a ridiculous – supposedly shocking – narrative. And yes, more and more murders. Oh, for some intelligent, thought-provoking continuing drama.

• I find it so comforting to read the paper; much better than reading it online. The problem I had was folding it neatly, but after decades of trying, I’ve solved it. At the top and bottom of each pair of pages, in the centre, are two black marks about 3mm long. I pinch these between thumb and forefinger, stretch the paper across my stomach and – hey presto – I’ve a perfectly folded paper.
