After having her yoghurt confiscated at Wimbledon, Mrs Marilyn Still has my sympathy (The Argus, July 8) - perhaps Tupperware would be the answer in such situations?

However, I was puzzled by her reference to "the nanny state" and could not see what her experience had to do with any kind of state, in the political sense.

Have I missed something?
