Theodore Gillam says our story about pop star Britney Spears buying a badge saying "Wine me, dine me, 69 me" at a Brighton shop caused him a problem.

He explains: "As an open-minded adult, such a blatant and overt sexual reference worries me not, but having to explain to my elderly mother what 69 was is something I'd rather not visit.

"Rather more worrying is the fact that no one at The Argus knew about the reference. You need to get out more or buy a book."

We knew all the time, Theodore, but felt it unnecessary to explain. If people know what it means, then fine and if, like your mum, they don't well that's fine too.

Still with numbers and our story on Friday last week about The Albion's new Golden Goal jackpot game in which fans have to guess the minute and second in which a goal is scored to win.

We said fans had criticised the game because the odds of winning were 5,380-1 (the first ten seconds of each half don't count).

In fact, the odds are half that because fans get two chances to win. I am grateful for the clarification to Albion's Paul Camillin, who also tells me the £500 first prize was won at the club's game against QPR.

The caption accompanying a picture two Fridays ago of two of the stars of this year's panto at The Hawth, Crawley, said one of them was Johnny Shentall of now defunct Hear'Say but in fact it was co-star Andy Collins, presenter of TV's Family Fortunes.

It also said Johnny had been a "chart-topping star" with Hear'Say. In fact, although the group had two number ones, they were before Johnny replaced Kym Marsh in the band and their one single with him reached only number six. He did have a hit with his previous band, Boom, but that only reached number 11. My thanks to The Argus's resident pop anorak Aidan Radnedge.

Our report on Saturday about a fight on board a Gatwick holiday flight stated it was a British Airways plane. In fact, it was a British World Airlines (BWA) plane. My thanks to former BWA pilot Tony Layfield, who used to work for the company before it ceased trading following the downturn in air travel after the September 11 attacks.

Mr PJ Smith, from Crawley, asks did we mistakenly state his town is a city when we reported last Friday it had won the city class category of the South East in Bloom contest?

No, sir, we didn't. The organisers put Crawley in the city category because, with a more than 90,000 population, it is bigger than most other towns.

Meanwhile, Barbara Johns, from Brighton, asks why we didn't mention her as "the best woman gardener" in our report on Tuesday of the City in Bloom contest results.

The answer is we only published winners' names and Mrs Johns was the highest-placed woman in the Best Kept Allotment category behind winner Geoff Noakes. Nevertheless, well done madam.

Incidentally, the main subject of the report, Bill Sansom, rang me to thank us for "a fantastic article".

Andrew Cripps, from Saltdean, points out that actor John Ritter didn't celebrate his 55th birthday on Wednesday as we reported. He died last week.

Our report on Wednesday last week on the inquest of Graham Curtis correctly stated the hearing had heard his ex-girlfriend had taken out an injunction against him.

The woman in question, who has asked not to be named, says she had in fact done no such thing. I am happy to put the record - and the coroner - straight.

And finally, this week's Spicer from Gerald, from Portslade, who points out that his friend Reg Carden's address is Beechwood Avenue, Brighton, and not Birchwood as we said at the bottom of his letter on Wednesday last week. Sorry.
