Confirmation that the world has gone mad: I got into my car, a Smart #1, on Saturday, and before it did anything else, the car said “Love is in the air” and wished me a happy Valentine’s Day. As a matter of principle, I refused to speak to it for the rest of the day.

• I tried to avoid saying thank you for a whole day and ended up feeling miserable and ungrateful (The hill I will die on: Britons love saying thank you – I think we should ban the phrase, 7 February). I feel much better now that I have gone back to saying it whenever I feel grateful for something someone has done.
