Sir – The oxygen of publicity is one thing, the carbon-dioxide of self-publicity quite another. Christopher Gray ‘enjoys (another) great night out’, we hear (Gray Matter, November 25).

This time ‘my pal Aziz’ has won a curry award, in the same week as CG gets a preview of the new RST ‘in company with most of the leading figures in arts journalism’. How about a New Year resolution for the gossipy guzzler: a 50 per cent CO2 reduction in 2011, leading to a carbon neutral Weekend supplement by 2012?

Yours more in hope than expectation.
