Beachwear ban | A carry-on conundrum | Graduate jobs | Going forward | The final say

Milan’s La Scala is not the only place to request less flesh on display (No shorts, no flip-flops: La Scala bars beachwear from the opera, 7 July). In the Australian city where I was on holiday, many restaurants and bars had become impatient with people who didn’t cover up on leaving the beach. Being Australian, their instructions were clear and to the point. They put up signs outside stating “Remember the three Bs: No boobs, bellies or bums”.

• In the good old days you could buy a carry-on bag that all airlines would accept. Nowadays, each operator sets its own size limit (UK airport staff get bonuses for spotting easyJet oversize bags, email shows, 7 July). When buying a bag, you need to decide who you will fly with. Carry-on bags have become unofficial loyalty cards of airlines.
