Give Posh credit where it’s due
In your story last week about Victoria Beckham (left) turning to a skincare range to help her business, you said that she had recently made an ‘embarrassing’ U-turn in giving staff their roles back after furloughing them. As well as good business practice, it rescued her reputation and was generous on her part. Is there nothing she can do right? Simon van Someren, London
Doubting Thomas
A. N. Wilson says Charles Dickens is England’s greatest novelist. Has he never heard of Thomas Hardy? Mike Prince, New Milton, Hampshire
A wartime dilemma
There was some criticism of Bomber Command’s Arthur Harris on the Letters page last week. But have any of those who speak out about him ever served in our Armed Forces?

If only half of those men and guns had been in Normandy in June 1944, how many more British and Allied troops would have died on D-Day? F. Bodman, Shanklin, Isle of Wight
Breaking the bank
After reading your Travel article last week about B&Bs, it is no wonder that Britons choose to go on holiday abroad, when most of the prices quoted were extortionate, to say the least, stretching from £95 to over £200. Roll on foreign travel again! Karl Edwards, Argyll
Britain is too soft
The way the French are making sure we end up with as many migrants as they can deliver into the arms of the UK Border Force proves how soft we are. John Evans, Wokingham
Support UK charities
It seems like every other advert on TV at the moment is for a charity. May I suggest that instead of sending our annual billions abroad in aid, we donate it to charities at home? Peter Pinker, Bridport, Dorset
Anneka’s challenge
A lot of TV shows are being repeated during lockdown. The best from Channel 4 in the 1980s was Anneka Rice’s Treasure Hunt. Is it still in the archives? Jane Page, Haslemere, Surrey
