Nigel Farage suggests he can win the next general election (Report, 20 September) and reminds me of David Steele’s instruction to Liberal Democrat MPs in 1981 to “Go back to your constituencies and prepare for government”. Let us hope Farage’s prediction is as accurate.

My favourite of Graham Rawle’s Lost Consonants (Letters, 22 September) depicted the end of the Battle of Waterloo, with the caption “Napoleon defeated in his trousers”. I thought it was very funny, but it was embarrassing to have to explain it to my incomprehensible father-in-law at the time.

I disagree with James Wilkinson’s comments suggesting that Margaret Thatcher was “famous” (Letters, September 22). The correct word is “infamous”.

A full health check for £299 (Report, 20 September)? What a bargain from Neko. A friend recently paid £1,000 for an ultrasound scan of a dog’s leg!

Should do good business for local Specsavers (Olafur Eliasson artwork to transform London’s Piccadilly Circus into a blur, September 23).
