It is the issue which will be occupying the thoughts of every Albion fan today. Is a third successive away defeat, a thumping one at that, evidence of a downward spiral into relegation trouble? Or was a remarkable match a one-off, one of those inexplicable
Albion will decide today whether to rush through an appeal against the first red card of Richard Carpenter's career. The experienced midfielder was sent-off in the second half of Saturday's 5-1 defeat at Plymouth for pushing Nick Chadwick to the ground
In his latest mini-sermon (Letters, March 9), the Rev John Webster fails to mention the fundamental reason he and other Christians are opposed to voluntary euthanasia. It is quite simply a belief that their God (one of many) creates life and he alone
Recently, after a fall in the street, I managed to get myself to the Accident and Emergency department of the Royal Sussex County Hospital. I was treated with the utmost concern by the staff and a doctor of this department, who thoroughly examined me
I would like to say a big thank you to staff at the Royal Sussex County Hospital (RSCH). I'm aware, of recent times, of the bad press the hospital has received. I had been booked for some elective nasal surgery for some time, was all geared up for it,

I would like to congratulate the BBC for the documentary Detention Under Cover - The Real Story, screened on March 2 at 9pm. I am a member of Brighton and Hove Amnesty International and a volunteer visitor with The Gatwick Detainee Welfare group. This
A ten-year-old girl has made a forceful protest against plans for a park-and-ride scheme by branding a council cruel in a heartfelt letter. Justine Earle penned the protest to Brighton and Hove City Council after learning it might build a 900-space car
Conservative leader Michael Howard took the General Election campaign straight to the doorsteps of Brighton and Hove. As he knocked on doors and chatting to voters over the weekend, he said the Tories were ready to return to the city they once dominated
Human remains discovered in woods by a man walking his dog could be those of a young woman who went missing almost a year ago. The bones were found yesterday morning near Cote Street, off the A27 at Worthing, in an area known as Munery's Copse. Pathologists
As a Hove resident and council tax payer I feel I must reply to Jeremy Head regarding the bin problems in the centre of Brighton. He complains Hove gets a better service as the residents are richer but I doubt there is any truth in this. Different areas
Today, collection day, I wheeled my wheelie bin from the back of the house to the front. As usual. The dustmen arrived at 7.30am. As usual. And, as usual, the dustman opened the lid, pulled out the rubbish by hand and threw it into the cart. What is the
Garry Wilson is hoping Saturday's disappointing defeat will act as a reality check for his players. Eastbourne Borough went into their showdown with second-placed Cambridge City having lost just once in the league since New Year's Day. The run had catapulted
Residents in Stanford Avenue have also been advised they are to be the subject of Brighton and Hove City Council's wheeled bin experiment. As reported (The Argus, March 10), many residents have a real concern about the introduction of these bins. We have

A Charity for disabled ex-servicemen has spent £4.5 million on an extension to a home it didn't have to build. Fund-raisers are pleased with the new annexe at Gifford House in Worthing but irritated at having to pay out money they could barely afford.
A farm supplies company that has traded for more than a century is to make up to 30 workers redundant. Culverwells is closing its Lewes branch, which houses an engineering workshop for farming and gardening equipment and a farm supplies shop. Bosses said
Like a lot of people I know, I completely pre-judged Russell 'The Voice' Watson. He is said to have done for classical music what Jamie Oliver did for food - but then I have always been more interested in food than opera. Middle-aged housewives packed
The joyous blizzard of chaos and melody which is The Go! Team was given a hero's welcome by a sell-out crowd at Concorde 2. It's something they should get used to. The group are commendably unafraid to enjoy themselves on stage and, like their music,
It would be wrong to attribute the success of Friday night at the Madeira Drive club to Mad Professor alone. Support from Roots Garden - who do a reggae night at the Jazz Rooms - kept the crowd happy until Mad Professor finally showed his face just after
In one of his most famous songs, Noel Coward advised Mrs Worthington not to put her daughter on the stage. Luckily, no such advice was given to Mrs Zavaroni with regard to her little girl Lena. Lena Zavaroni revealed a remarkable singing ability way beyond

Someone is not taking this seriously. I am very much in favour of recycling my rubbish. It is not very difficult is it ? Papers in one box, bottles in another, squash the tins down, everything in separate plastc bags and all placed in nice little black
I read with interest your article about the Blaber family's stolen silver (The Argus, February 26). My father had the fish and chip shop (AA Witherden) further along Shirley Street. I was born in 1925 and we lived over the shop. On a crisp Christmas evening
Regarding the controversy about the refuse transfer site in Upper Hollingdean Road, I remember, when I was at school in Ditchling Road, there was a tall chimney opposite, part of the plant which incinerated Brighton's rubbish. I also recall the time when
Regarding Mr Head (Letters, March 9), does an inferiority complex or competition come into play between Brighton and Hove? One can always live in "posh" Hove if one can afford it. I would be the first one to sell my small flat at a premium. Any takers
Rye and Iden boss Glyn White says his side are still battling for second place despite toppling leaders Horsham YMCA on Saturday. Rye shaded a thriller at the Salts by the odd goal in five to trim YM's lead at the top to five points although John Suter's
Crawley manager Francis Vines blamed two "disgraceful" decisions for defeat against runaway Conference leaders Barnet. The first came a minute into the second half when Reds were 1-0 down and Allan Tait latched onto a through ball and side-footed under

Considered by many to be the best gothic romance of the 20th Century, it's a wonder fans of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca have had to wait so long for a stage production. In 1940, it made for a wonderfully eerie film, directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring
When Josh Rouse started writing his latest album, February's Nashville, he didn't know it would become a farewell to his adopted home town. But then he didn't know either that he was going to be hospitalised with pancreatitis ("it was the whisky that
