Lord Hutton writes about the NHS health centers built thanks to private funding (Letters, November 23). In Didcot we have been waiting for the Great Western Park Health Center for over ten years. The return on investment required by the developer is greater than the NHS will reimburse. The local health care board fears that they will not be able to get a general practice in the health center at that price.

Congratulations on the print edition headline “Lights, Canberra, no action”, about England’s defeated cricketers not playing in the Australian capital (November 24). It reminded me of my all-time favorite in the Guardian when Zaheer Abbas started the county cricket season in 1981 by scoring 1,000 runs in one month: “Happy days Zaheer again”. Genius.

Ed Miliband seems proud that Britain produces “just 1% of emissions” (Opinion, November 23). Why? The British population is 0.85%, that is, less than 1% of the world’s population. So in Britain we emit more than the global average per person.

Oh dear, Quick Crossword Setter (November 18). “Former soldiers”? Answer: “Ex-military.” “The title of a retired professor”? Answer: “Emeritus”. There are also female ex-military personnel and ex-professors!

As a riff on dancing at home to de-stress (The Only Change That Worked, November 24), air guitar is also a delight. I recommend the Ramones.
