Confirmation that the world has gone crazy: I sat in my car, Smart #1, on Saturday, and before I could do anything else, the car said “Love is in the air” and wished me a Happy Valentine’s Day. On principle, I refused to talk about it for the rest of the day.

I tried to avoid saying thank you all day and ended up feeling miserable and ungrateful (The hill I’ll die on: Britons love to say thank you – I think we should ban this phrase, 7th February). I feel much better now because I start saying it again whenever I feel grateful for something someone has done.

More Bedtime Stories (Letter, 13 February) Reminded me of our holiday in Oban, Scotland. When we entered our hotel room, a pregnant woman appeared on our bed. Upon closer examination, it turned out to be a large wire cage with an infrared lightbulb in the center, which could be turned on to preheat the bed. The device was also accompanied by a sign prohibiting sleeping.

In response to Manju Ghosh’s question about where to find £2 coins (Letters, 10 February), may I suggest the Big Issue vendor near Cutty Sark in Greenwich, London. I got a £2 coin in change last Saturday – the first time I’d seen that in many months.

Regarding organized lines in pubs (12th February), I always try to pay attention to my pee and queues.
