Christmas tree costs | Advice for burglars | Weather forecasts | HS2 bat shed | Trump trivia
Re your article on Christmas trees (Imported Christmas trees cost more thanks to post-Brexit checks, 1 November), it’s time for a new slogan perhaps. How about “A Christmas tree’s for life, not just for Christmas”? Complete with instructions on how to grow, then pot and water for 12 days inside, then replant in the garden, ready for next year.

• Your article on the sophisticated burglars targeting footballers (‘The lower your profile the better’: social media’s role in rise of high-profile UK burglaries, 9 November) quotes a former Metropolitan police chief as saying that “the lower the profile that you can keep while obviously doing what you professionally do, the better”. Good advice if you are a professional burglar.
