With regard to Annie Corridor’s letter (7 June) about guessing the gender of an article author, I do one thing related on the bus. I all the time guess whether or not somebody getting on will go upstairs or keep downstairs. Younger individuals invariably go upstairs, however I'm typically proved unsuitable. I'm all the time stunned on the variety of older passengers who leg it up the steps.

In response to Rachel Meredith saying that the four-day week could worsen the local weather disaster (Letters, 6 June), once I went right down to a three-day week it by no means occurred to me to waste a lot of the additional days in airports. A 3-day weekend received’t provide you with a lot time to do something. No, I count on most individuals will get pleasure from slowing down a bit and taking time to go to native locations and occasions that they wouldn’t have had the time or vitality for earlier than.

Joe Root is rightly being praised for his batting within the first Check match towards New Zealand (Sportblog, 5 June). However he has some method to go earlier than equalling fellow Yorkshiremen Herbert Sutcliffe (common 60.7 runs in 54 Exams) and Len Hutton (56.7 in 79). Each Hutton and Denis Compton (50.1 in 78) – by the way my childhood hero – had their finest years misplaced to the second world warfare.
