Feeling flush with Izal mementoes | Brief letters

On a toilet roll | Women caught short | Sustainable jeans | Prom notes | Baking bread Wiping your bum on Izal (Letters, 20 April)? I made a Radio 4 musical feature on Izal back in 2010 (Now Wash Your Hands) and included the fact that, during the war, you could wipe yourself on a picture of Hitler. I’m also the proud owner of a 1930s roll printed with William Heath Robinson drawings, including one picturing the cleaning of a broody hen coop with Izal disinfectant.

Would Mr Maughan be happy for us all to tooty down in the street when we are caught short? I doubt it. Melanie Jones Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire Re your report (Luxury to high street jeans: can you tell the difference?, 17 April), my Next jeans cost £1, my Levi 501s cost £3, £6 and £12, and my Polo Ralph Laurens (my favourite) cost £12. All from charity shops. Very sustainable.Linda RheadHampton, London Good to hear that the Proms will include works with “lots of notes” (Report, 21 April). Le
