A golden example of trickle-down economics | Brief letters

Welsh mining | Bridget Christie | Ancient Greek | Nuuk ambitions | April fool

Your report on the revival of goldmining in north Wales (Going for gold: coin marks hope of bringing Welsh mine back from the dead, 26 March)( made me recall a summer I spent camping in the area in the 1970s, when, in the village pub, Ienjoyedthe stories of locals who had worked in the mine. One theme was how the proceeds of illicitly siphoned gold had funded new houses in the locality. If true, this is perhaps one of the few examples of trickle-down economics in practice.

Your interview with Bridget Christie highlights the feminist perspective of her work (Bridget Christie on brain fog, flirting, and why she won't be taking a lover: My heart is full. I am open to it, but I'm not looking for it', 29 March). It includes a reference to four other comedians - Daniel Kitson, James Acaster, Nish Kumar and Josie Long. In the online version, the first three all have links to other Guardian articles about them. Irony?
