A cheaper way to join the National Trust if you’re over 60

National Trust for Scotland | Voting ID | Gallery behaviour | True lies | Swiss army knife

I enjoyed your article on discounts for the over-60s (Money hacks, 7 May), but there’s an even better National Trust discount than the one included. Any UK resident can join the National Trust for Scotland and get the same benefits, but cheaper. It has a joint senior membership that comes in at £99.60 annually, and does not require being a member for the previous three years. It’s valid across the UK.

Peter Bottomley MP is right that the Electoral Commission recommended some form of voter ID (Letters, 6 May). But such restrictive forms of photo ID were not proposed. Millions of people do not have what is now required, and they do not need additional barriers to voting. The ID that can be used to collect a parcel at a post office (for example, a bank card or utility bill) or even the polling card issued to all voters should suffice.

What’s even more sad than those using gallery audio guides (Letters, 7 May) are those visitors who go round an exhibition taking photos on their phones and not pausing to look properly at the paintings.

Radhika Sanghani says she quit lying two years ago and hasn’t lied since (Why I quit, 6 May). How do we know if that’s true?

If a Swiss army knife has the knife removed (Report, 7 May), surely it must be renamed – any suggestions?
