We have had some respite from the photographs The Argus regularly prints of Ivor Caplin MP. I am sure, in the meanwhile, people have not forgotten how to recognise him. There was surely no need for three photographs of him last week: Outside Cheetahs
This isn't something I'd wish to write. I don't enjoy conflict. But, faced with the prospect of being taunted every time, or virtually every time, I pass a certain shop (which is most days and could easily be four or more times on some days), my column
I recently moved house and, as anyone who does so without the aid of removal men, I had at least 50 cardboard boxes going soggy in my garden. Where I used to live, we were visited by the fabulous Green Box people but they do not visit where I have moved

Artist Julia Laderman from Brighton uses expectant mothers for body painting and they love it. If they are embarrassed at first, they never feel naked when they are covered with one of her designs. It's a pity the unborn children cannot have a peek at
I was extremely interested in the article on the tidal wave along the South Coast on Saturday, July 22, 1929 (The Argus, August 30). I was ten years old at the time and have vivid memories of that afternoon. My sister had taken two of my school friends
I received a parking ticket last week for parking in residents' zone B on Montpelier Road, Brighton, where I live. I have a fully paid-up residents' parking permit for zone B clearly displayed. Needless to say, I have appealed and will not be paying any
Nervous calm has descended on Sussex County Cricket Club this morning. It's that dreaded time of the year, contracts meeting day. We're having a net session and every 20 minutes or so another poor gibbering wreck of a county cricketer trudges reluctantly
People living on the border of a public park are refusing to help pay an £11,000 bill to repair a track leading to it. Adur District Council has resurfaced the track behind homes in Downsway and Cromleigh Way, Southwick. Households backing on to the land
I would like to say a big thank you to the customers of Sam's Newsagents, Park Road, Coldean. My mother was attacked and robbed in her own flat last Tuesday, which has left her feeling very vulnerable and wary of people. Your kind messages and help have

A teenager was raped by a stranger as she walked home from a night out in Worthing. The 18-year-old was attacked in Christchurch Road between 3am and 3.30am on Saturday August 26 after an evening in a night club. The victim, who lives in Worthing, did
I was delighted to see a picture of Guy Lloyd (The Argus, August 30). I have been an avid fan of his since I heard him on the Palace Pier. He always plays my children's requests and is very funny and fully of energy. I had no idea he also worked on hospital

People living in a house at Shoreham had a lucky escape this year when a light plane struck it while they were out. As the pilot, Donald Campbell, received only minor injuries, the crash was simply a one-day wonder for most people. But it was a much more

Unfriendly, unwelcoming and downright greedy. That is my impression of Brighton from my vain attempts to book family accommodation. I will be attending a christening on Sunday in East Sussex and, as a former resident of the area, thought it would be nice

Brighton and Hove is the suicide capital of England and Wales, public health figures reveal today. The city had an annual average of 13.8 suicides per 100,000 people in the last decade. This was higher than the average national rate of ten per 100,000
