Regarding your article (A moment that changed me: I thought my Parkinson’s was the end of my life, but dancing changed everything, 25 March), people with Parkinson’s might like to take up table tennis. I set up a Parkinson’s table tennis project in Newcastle in 2025 and we have evidence showing improvements in coordination, footwork, social skills and speech. One member who had to hold on to the table can now play freehand without falling.

How can you have a list of the best songs about the moon (You saw me standin’ alone: songs about the moon – ranked!, 26 March) without including The Waterboys’ great The Whole of the Moon?

Inconceivable that your best songs about our beloved lunar sphere failed to mention the B-52s’ seminal There’s a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon). It couldn’t be much clearer guys – it is mentioned twice.

The glorious thing about mickle and muckle (Letters, 25 March) and their larger siblings, the pickle and the puckle, is their indeterminacy. When I asked how much I would get when I ordered gravel from a quarry, I was told it would be a puckle. Dear reader, it was.

Letters on the new town of Brabazon (26 March) have focused on the aircraft of that name. But it was itself named after the British aviation pioneer John Moore-Brabazon, the first Englishman to pilot a heavier-than-air machine under power in England.
