Anyone caught in the chaos of the\u00a0mad, traffic-infested streets in\u00a0London as they tried to get home during the strike by RMT tube drivers might realise how important those drivers are in keeping London running smoothly (Report, 8 September). Perhaps it\u2019s worth paying them more and reducing their working hours. Regarding the letter on smiling (Letters, 10 September), I am told by my son that no one gives way to another vehicle in the south. While this is possibly a wild generalisation, I find that letting a vehicle into a queue of traffic in front of you changes a stressed face to a smile of thanks. One of the reasons Samantha Cameron gives for winding up her clothing business is international trading restrictions (10 September). I do hope that she has someone to turn to for an explanation <\/em>as to\u00a0how this happened. Re the Banksy artwork at the Royal Courts of Justice in London (Court staff cover up Banksy image of judge beating a protester, 8 September), am I the only pedant to notice a British\u00a0judge wielding an American gavel\u00a0in court? Recovery from the nauseating effects of nitrous oxide (Letters, 10 September) in our school clinic in Sheffield in the early 1950s was in the hands of the dental nurse: a couple of clips round the ears while in the corridor.
