几年前，我的儿子们和阿斯顿维拉的支持者一起去狼队。一位年轻的警察在火车站将他们和其他人挑了出来，准备护送到球场。但一位年长的警长建议警员：“不是那两个——那个人的胳膊下夹着一份《卫报》。” 这算不算对和平主义者的认可？他们没有留胡子，甚至没有穿凉鞋。 大卫·德鲁 伯明翰 • 对于那些担心用60摄氏度洗涤内衣或有污染风险的人来说，有一个简单的解决方案（2月24日来信）——采取军事选择，不穿内裤。 鲍勃·阿伦博士 西约克郡伊尔克利 • 用60摄氏度洗涤内衣可能会导致缩水，这可能对穿着者有害。 尼尔·安格雷夫 伦敦 • 关于与陌生人交谈的禁忌（如何与任何人交谈——以及为什么你应该这样做，2月24日），读者可能想知道这不适用于（a）农村地区，（b）威尔士的任何地方，以及（c）遇到其他遛狗者时。 然而，在最后一种情况下，你更有可能发现狗的名字，而不是主人的名字。 大卫·波普 威尔特郡皇家伍顿巴塞特 • 关于带着造口囊生活（2月20日来信），我想赞扬腿部造口袋。 这使尿液容量增加了三倍，使您可以在两次上厕所之间间隔六个小时。 它改变了在剧院度过夜晚或乡村漫步的整个体验。 克里斯托弗·哈斯莱特 萨里郡塔德沃思 • 对您今天在《卫报》上读到的任何内容有意见吗？ 请给我们发送您的信件，我们将考虑在我们的读者来信版块发表。

Some years ago, my sons travelled with Aston Villa supporters going to Wolves. A young policeman picked them out at the railway station along with others to be shepherded to the ground. But an older sergeant advised the constable: “Not those two – that one’s got a Guardian under his arm.” How’s that for peacenik recognition? Non-bearded, they weren’t even wearing sandals. David Drew Birmingham • There’s a simple solution for those concerned with running their washing machine at 60C to wash underwear or risking contamination (Letters, 24 February) – take the military option and go commando. Dr Bob Aron Ilkley, West Yorkshire • Washing underwear at 60C could lead to shrinkage, which could well be harmful to the wearer.

Dr Bob Aron Ilkley, West Yorkshire • Washing underwear at 60C could lead to shrinkage, which could well be harmful to the wearer. Neil Angrave London • Regarding the taboo on talking to strangers (How to talk to anyone – and why you should, 24 February), readers might like to know that it does not apply (a) in rural areas, (b) anywhere in Wales and (c) when meeting a fellow dog-walker. However, in the last case, you are more likely to discover the dog’s name than the owner’s. David Pope Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire • Re living with a stoma bag (Letters, 20 February), I wish to sing the praises of the leg bag. This triples the capacity for urine, allowing you six hours between visits to the loo. It changes the whole experience of an evening at the theatre or a country walk.
