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
While we marvelled at Amiens Cathedral in France, our son, then eight, commented 'I don't mind coming here when I'm dead, but I really don't want to be here now' (Letters, 19 March)Patti RundallCambridge
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
Oh, the irony of the Royal Mail's latest special stamps issue, Myths and Legends. They seem to have forgotten the most mythical creature of our modern lives – an actual postman!Ian BarclayAngmering, West Sussex
In the best tradition of newspaper correspondence, I should advise that on Thursday morning I heard the first chiffchaff of spring. Hopefully the first swallow is not far behind!Cathy RooneyOxton, Scottish Borders
