Regarding your article (A moment that changed me: I thought my Parkinson\u2019s was the end of my life, but dancing changed everything, 25 March), people with Parkinson\u2019s might like to take up table tennis. I set up a Parkinson\u2019s table tennis project in Newcastle in 2025 and we have evidence showing improvements in coordination, footwork, social skills and speech. One member who had to hold on to the table can now play freehand without falling. How can you have a list of the best songs about the moon (You saw me standin\u2019 alone: songs about the moon \u2013 ranked!, 26 March) without including The Waterboys\u2019 great The Whole of the Moon? Inconceivable that your best songs about our beloved lunar sphere failed to mention the B-52s\u2019 seminal There\u2019s a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon). It couldn\u2019t be\u00a0much clearer guys \u2013 it\u00a0is\u00a0mentioned twice. The glorious thing about mickle and muckle (Letters, 25 March) and their larger siblings, the pickle and the puckle, is their indeterminacy. When I asked how much I would get when I ordered gravel from a quarry, I was told it would be a puckle. Dear reader, it was. Letters on the new town of Brabazon (26 March) have focused on the aircraft of that name. But it was itself named after the British aviation pioneer John Moore-Brabazon, the first Englishman to pilot a heavier-than-air machine under power in England.
