MPs’ second jobs | Zebra crossings | British Airways | All-male Wordsearch | Christmas puddings
You report that the parliamentary watchdog is looking at the rules governing MPs’ second jobs (MPs could be barred from consultancy roles in sleaze clampdown, 7 November). How about capping any income from these jobs at an hourly rate that more realistically reflects the expertise offered? I would suggest the current minimum wage.

• A relaxation of rules to allow more zebra crossings cannot come soon enough (Charities call for easing of zebra crossing rules to promote walking, 7 November). I live between two small towns, Wigton and Cockermouth. For me, Wigton is particularly dangerous, with only two traditional crossings. Marvejols in France (population 4,700), twinned with Cockermouth, has 37 crossings.
