It’s not just subtitles that are being used by people beyond the community they were designed to assist (Pass notes, 16 November). As an audio describer, I’ve met several people recently who stream a TV programme or film, then access the audio description service, allowing them to listen while cycling, running, or doing the ironing.

The Environment Agency either knows what is being discharged into our rivers or it does not (Environment Agency launches major investigation into sewage, 18 November). Which is worse, and when will government accept that self-regulation does not work in the public interest?

Thanks for reintroducing “Other lives” to the Obituaries pages in the print edition on Saturday (Journal, 20 November). It is interesting to see, and important to record, the extraordinary contributions to our lives made by “ordinary” people.

I was hugely disappointed to see the regular three pages of puzzles in Saturday’s Journal reduced to two, and Train Tracks (among other puzzles) cancelled. Did I miss something in Grant Shapps’ announcement?

Some MPs do indeed volunteer with local football teams (Letters, 18 November). A certain Mrs May is president of the Wargrave Women and Girls Football Club, a role she seems to take seriously.
