Brief letters: Birth certificate error | Museum chairs | Perfect pets | Starling Bank | Guardian Christmas wrapping
What better proof that the law is an ass than baby Lilah’s case (‘We were horrified’: parents heartbroken as baby girl registered as male, 19 November). She was mistakenly registered as a boy and cannot be legally re-registered as a girl, although the mistake was discovered minutes after it was made by the register office.

• It’s not just disabled museum employees who need seats – many elderly people need them too (Security guard sues Science Museum for allegedly denying suitable chair, 17 November). I often have to forgo or cut short visits to museums and galleries through exhaustion and pain. Why don’t they provide fold-down stools that can be carried by visitors? I have used these in museums abroad.

• Re AI pets, I’ll stick with my pet rock – now 49 years old and as hale as the day we met, which is more than can be said of me (Can a fluffy robot really replace a cat or dog? My weird, emotional week with an AI pet, 20 November).

• By all accounts, the protest by Starling Bank staff over management’s demand that they attend offices more regularly is gathering momentum (Report, 19 November). How long before it constitutes a murmuration?

• To continue the Christmas theme of Paul Hanbury’s tall tree (Letters, 17 November), it’s time for readers to start saving the Guardian’s centrefold photos for wrapping presents: recycling and individuality in one.
