Forget cooking – pass the bread and eggs | Brief letters

Meals for married life | Exotic animals | Far-right governments | Fiscal rectitude | Trickle-down cash | Wheelbarrow money

Re Emma Beddington (After 25 years of feeding other people I've had enough of cooking - from now on it is toast in front of the telly, 25 September), our children left home years ago, and after 63 years of marriage we quite happily have an evening meal of a boiled egg, homemade bread, blueberries (frozen, defrosted) and yoghurt. We do have a choice of meals in the freezer for other days.

The multiple choice answers in your print-edition feature Pet Corner (G2, 26 October) were tigers, elephants, coyotes and crocodiles. None of these have yet been domesticated here in the north-west. Might it be time to consider a new format? Politicians' Corner might be fun.
