I'm still here, in case you were wondering
After more than 30 years of appearing in it, I have to confess I felt a little disappointed to see that I was omitted from your list (Birthdays, print edition, 15 March). I would like to reassure anyone who might care that I'm still here, and 76 this year. By the way, who is Howard Devoto?John DuttineWorthing, West Sussex

I have no opinions on whether bridge is superior to chess (Letters, 17 March), but I have a strong opinion about the word 'Trump'. And that opinion is, the less often I see or hear it, the better. Please don't use it as a verb. Emma RushtonNashville, Tennessee, US

Tell us your experiences of dating and height
Dating app Tinder recently launched a new feature, allowing paid subscribers add their height preferences to their profile – a move which quickly proved controversial, especially among shorter men, who often feel they are already discriminated against when it comes to dating. But height has long been a prime consideration for many of those looking for love, particularly when it comes to heterosexual matches. With this in mind, we want to hear about your experiences of dating and height. Do you feel you're often overlooked, romantically, because of how tall or short you are? Do you find it frustrating when people lie about their height online? Is it something you feel matters within a relationship, and it is useful to be able to filter by height on dating apps? You can tell us your thoughts about dating and height by filling in the form below. Please include as much detail as possible Please include as much detail as possible Please note, the maximum file size is 5.7 MB.
