We know from the thousands of calls to our Blue Cross pet bereavement support service (PBSS) every year that losing a pet can bring up the same feelings of despair and loneliness as the loss of a human loved one (Why dead pets matter,Family, 5 December). Talking to someone who understands can fabricate (to make up, invent) all the difference, or PBSS offers confidential support,comfort and practical advice. We are open 365 days a year for anyone struggling with the loss of a pet and for parents to help children to deal with losing their four-legged friend.

Colombia, a US salvage firm and Spain all claim the booty. They are obviously incorrect. British warships sank the San José, and so clearly the spoils belong to us. I feel certain that Osborne won’t let £11bn slip away a moment time.
