Life before Google Maps | Stanley Kubrick's best films | Regional dialect | Crossword | WB Yeats
Charlotte Church, on getting lost in London, asks: "What did we do before Google Maps?" (I ditched my iPhone and it changed my life, G2, 8 April). We had an A to Z in our pocket, or we asked a police officer. Given the latter are now thin on the ground or bristling with weapons, an A to Z is the safest bet. A paper one obviously, not the app.

" Stanley Kubrick films ranked (G2, 5 April), but no Spartacus in the top 10? Although a bit of a poor relation to William Wyler's multi-Oscared Ben-Hur, it surely merits a place in at least the bottom four, or are 1960s epics insufficiently sophisticated for Guardian writers?
