If Adrian Chiles’s garden really gets his goat (The unspoken truth about gardening? It is a relentless, unwinnable war, 4 May), then he should do just that – get a goat. It will clear the thicket in a trice, leaving only the most stubborn bushes for his shredder to devour. BBC Radio 4’s Farming Today might commission a feature.

Whatever you think of the public oath of allegiance introduced into the coronation service, it’s a nice indication of the culture change over the past 400 years (Charles is the king of apathy, not our hearts – he risks it all by asking for more, 2 May). If you want to swear allegiance, please feel free to join in, we’re told. If you don’t, that’s fine. Previous kings haven’t always seen it that way.
