Forced to face The Sound of Music in the end

SIR – Readers have been discussing their “inverted bucket lists” – things they never wish to do (Letters, October 30).

Be careful what you wish for. I planned never to sit through The Sound of Music. Then my son was cast as one of the Von Trapp children.

John Stringer

Harbury, Warwickshire

SIR – I am well into my 83rd year, and have no wish to experience a coffee morning.

Bunny Platt

Caernarfon

SIR – My husband and I both agree we never want to go on a cruise or visit Disneyland. I also never want to have another hangover.

Thruxton, Hampshire

SIR – Richard Weeks (Letters, October 28) never wants to wear a suit or tie again.

Being scruffy is high on my list of unrecommended activities. As a man’s neck is invariably most unattractive, the adoption of open-necked shirts is unadvisable.

C E Purdy

Kingswood, Gloucestershire SIR – I hope never to meet a celebrity.

Charlotte Primrose Manningtree, Essex

SIR – When asked what he would do differently if he could live his life all over again, Woody Allen said: “Not read Moby-dick.”

Richard Skidmore

Macclesfield, Cheshire

SIR – I don’t intend to write to a newspaper’s letters page ever again.
