We were in Churchill Square, Brighton, at 12 noon on July 14 andwere disgusted to notice hardly anyone observed the two minutes' silence for the London bomb victims. No traffic on Western Road came to a halt -we would have thought all the lights could
On behalf of myself and my staff, I would like to thank the Hove Royal British Legion for its wonderful hospitality at the recent celebrations to mark the 60th Anniversary of VE Day. These brave men and women selflessly risked their own lives to protect
Can somebody please explain to me how it is possible the 20 drug addicts and drunks, with 920 shoplifting convictions between them, are not behind bars? Terrorism may be a concern but individuals such as these blight our daily lives. Shoplifting seems
Two things have puzzled me about water and the way we use it. Why wasn't a hosepipe ban brought in much earlier, instead of at the last minute? And why are we using high-quality drinking water to wash cars and hose the garden in the first place? -Phil
Mr Harrison is eloquent in attacking the idea of a bird cull in Brighton and Hove (Letters, June 28). But he does not seem to have read the letter which he uses as a peg for his own. If he looks at The Argus for June 21, he will see I wrote: "The long-term

I was surprised to see Richard Tucker's attack on George Galloway MP in The Argus (July 13). Speaking in Parliament, Mr Galloway rightly pointed out that the primary responsibility for Thursday's bombings lies with the perpetrators of these murderous
Richard Tucker's letter (July 13) entitled "A way with words", criticising George Galloway's response to the London bombings, ignores certain truths while missing the point about what Mr Galloway actually said. To begin with, George Galloway explicitly
I was shocked to read your article about the bothersome seagulls (The Argus, July 5). Doesn't the Argus know that culling means killing? With the increase in the population of Brighton, I suppose the next suggestion will be to cull people. A little more

When a tragedy like the London bombings happens, it is usually followed by the laying of bunches of flowers and tributes. Perhaps the people who do this might consider an alternative. Flowers will die in a few days but a blood transfusion donation would
