Having watched as my critically in poor health husband was nursed again to well being from close to demise, I completely agree with Anne Perkins (I knew all concerning the NHS’s challenges and flaws. However then as a affected person, I noticed the love and the magic, 29 December). Once we don’t want the NHS, it’s quietly working within the background. Once we do, the care, love and assist is past phrases and is priceless. How very lucky we’re.

I take challenge with the headline in your article (2025 was the yr we grew uninterested in movie star for movie star’s sake, 30 December). On 22 December, we had movie star variations of Antiques Highway Journey, The Chase, Escape to the Nation, Mastermind and Masterchef on TV, whereas columns of newsprint have been earlier dedicated to Celeb Traitors.

A ban on Médecins Sans Frontières (Medical doctors With out Borders) working in Gaza would absolutely be past irony (Israel to ban dozens of help companies from Gaza as 10 nations warn about struggling, 30 December).

Re models of measurement (Is it Twixmas or Twixtmas? And different type information conundrums we have now confronted this yr on the Guardian, 29 December), I observed in a current Guardian article that the dimensions of the Mexican island of EspÃritu Santo was in comparison with that of Manhattan. What’s that in soccer pitches and/or Waleses?
