While on holiday away from Brighton, I said to a woman that Brighton and Hove City Council was continually being pressurised to build "high-rise landmark buildings".

She remarked: "It has the Royal Pavilion, isn't that a landmark building?"

We agreed that those who wanted to promote high buildings should move away from the city to an area with high buildings so they would be happy.

People who like the way Brighton and Hove's architecture is and like its landmark buildings should stay and be happy.

Common sense, obviously, or did we not understand something?
