| On page 5 of Wednesday’s Guardian is an article about David Attenborough, reminding us of his warning in Blue Planet II about the devastating consequences of plastic debris in our oceans. Immediately below is a piece entitled “China’s plastic waste ban ‘creates crisis for UK local authorities’”, which quotes environment secretary Michael Gove: “I don’t know what impact it will have. It is … something to which – I will be completely honest – I have not given sufficient thought.” Says it all really, doesn’t it?

| • By moving from your “Berliner” format to a (splendidly designed, I’m sure) tabloid, you take away one of my childish pleasures. Four Berliner sheets, selected with malicious glee, fit neatly into my henhouse. Each sheet must bear a large photograph of Donald Trump or, failing that, Michael Gove, Boris Johnson or David Davis. My hens hit the spot with surprising accuracy and the resulting compost gives us a splendid crop of rhubarb each year.Annie BullenWildhern, Hampshire | • By moving from your “Berliner” format to a (splendidly designed, I’m sure) tabloid, you take away one of my childish pleasures.

Getting a touch tedious now, though – as are all those best of worst of etc lists. Back to normal by Saturday, I hope?Bob Jones Worcester | • However the McMafia series plays out – promising, at the moment – it has certainly given our journalists a rich harvest of themed articles.
