There are other metrics for measuring letter writing success. I may not have had as many letters published as the Big Four (Letters, 8 June), but I bet none of them have had a letter published in the Review and illustrated by cartoonist Tom Gauld. No statue required.

Jeanette Hamilton asks: “Do women make no epistolary contributions to the Guardian?” I do try, but I don’t need a statue: featuring on the fourth plinth in Antony Gormley’s One and Other was quite enough.

While definitely a second stringer in terms of epistolary publication, I can sympathise with Fr Alec Mitchell and his ageing pen. It must be at least 12 months since my last appearance on the letters page. Not that I have written that often. There are limits to the ways one can proclaim the “worst government ever” without repetition. It all gets a bit jaded the older I get.

The ideal centrepiece to the four statues of our favourite letters page contributors would be a pile of 35mm film canisters.

I’m not sure about letter writers, but could we have statues of Marina Hyde and John Crace somewhere, say, in Downing Street?
