Table tennis can help manage Parkinson’s | Parkinson’s disease
Regarding your article (A moment that changed me: I thought my Parkinson’s disease was the end of my life, but dancing changed everything, March 25), people with Parkinson’s disease might like to take up table tennis. I have launched a Parkinson’s table tennis project in Newcastle in 2025 and we have evidence showing improvements in coordination, footwork, social skills and speech. A member who had to hang 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!, March 26) without including the great The Whole of the Moon by the Waterboys?

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

What is glorious about Mickle and Muckle (Letters, March 25) and their big brothers, the pickle and the puckle, is their indeterminacy. When I asked how much I would get for ordering gravel from a quarry, I was told it would be one puck. Dear reader, it was.

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