I sympathise with Simon Hattenstone (Tried using the new online GP booking system? I have \u2013 and it was almost as miserable as my chest infection, 10 December). Filled in the online form, requesting a face-to-face GP appointment, received an email offering a phone call with a pharmacist. Rang reception to explain that I needed to see a GP and she said she couldn\u2019t make appointments \u2013 everything had to go through an online form. It\u00a0seems\u00a0you have to be almost dead\u00a0before you can see a GP. Regarding the wild beaver spotted in Norfolk (\u2018No one knows where it came from\u2019: first wild beaver spotted in Norfolk in 500 years, 7 December), obviously it\u2019s come from Ambridge \u2013 that explains why there\u2019s not been much coverage of the beavers since their release. Please let Rex and Kirsty know where it is \u2013 they\u2019ll be frantic with worry. If there is to be an invasion of San Serriffe (Letters, 10 December), it\u2019ll start with an Arial bombardment. \u201cBeing a nun gives me the best of both worlds\u201d (Letters, 7 December). That\u2019ll be this one and the next, then? Only five stages of ageing (Editorial, 7 December)? What about the writing-to-the-Guardian stage? Have an opinion on anything you\u2019ve read in the Guardian today?
