As one of your older readers, I was looking forward to reading the interesting article on the five epochs of brain development (Brain has five ‘eras’, scientists say – with adult mode not starting until early 30s, 25 November). But why was I not surprised to find the final two epochs given just one sentence between them?

• I was delighted to find out that the Royal Opera House is replacing its 26-year-old stage curtains. Perhaps the old ones could be reused to make new riser cushions for the stage of Huddersfield town hall. We’re still waiting to be levelled up. (See my Guardian letter, 14 February 2022.)

• Mark Garrod mentions his all-time favourite Guardian headline (Letters, 26 November); mine concerned a football match in which Gerry Queen was involved in a row at a match at Crystal Palace: “Queen in brawl at Palace.”

• Eggs Benedict at a greasy spoon? Still too posh, Adrian Chiles (London has plenty of posh breakfast options – but give me a greasy spoon any day, 27 November).
Brian Stevenson

• Just my luck to miss the deadline for nominative determinism letters (Letters, 25 November).
