Don’t ask

Sir, Reading of Mrs Blair’s embarrassment at Balmoral (times2, May 12) reminded my wife of one of the few occasions when we have stayed at a house sufficiently smart to involve remote bag unpacking.

For reasons unexplained, she had a pair of yellow rubber gloves in her case, which duly found their way, neatly folded, on to our bed.

We no longer take rubber gloves to smart houses.
