Shocking treatment of toast in Howards End

SIR – The current production of Howards End betrays an irritating lack of attention to detail.

At the beginning of the 20th century, no one like Aunt Juley would have held a piece of toast in the hand at table and spread it with jam direct from the spoon.

Nor would any gentleman have failed to remove his hat indoors. Kate Forrester

SIR – What struck me was the extraordinary pronunciation of Heidelberg as “Heydelberg”. Malcolm Chase
