Addressless delivery | Oasis and Our Friends in the North | Measuring the heatwave | Green-ink teacher | Language gripes
Following my letter (23 June) complimenting the Royal Mail on delivering a letter from another reader to me with no house number, street or postcode, this week I received another addressed in exactly the same way from Peggy, who writes “Just checking whether Royal Mail can do it twice. Maybe first time was a fluke.” Evidently not. Perhaps it’s my fame as a beyond-“genius” Word Wheel player that’s helped locate me?

• “What would British culture be like if Oasis had never existed?”, asks Dorian Lynskey (theguardian.com, 1 July). If nothing else, it’s hard to imagine the final scene of the 1996 BBC TV drama Our Friends in the North being anything like as devastating without Don’t Look Back in Anger playing out on the soundtrack.
