I have received a number of complaints from friends and family of Scott Wadman about our report on Thursday last week about his killer's jail sentence.

Scott was tragically killed by his mother's lover, Liam Ransom, who was sentenced to two years' jail for manslaughter, which he had admitted.

The report said that in a fight between the two men, Mr Wadman had grabbed a knife. This was evidence given by the prosecution of Ransom's statement to the police. However, we did not attribute it as such and it appeared as if it was an undisputed fact when, in fact, the judge said, in sentencing, Ransom's defence did not produce evidence to support the claim.

I am sorry for the error and for any upset it caused Mr Wadman's family and friends, including his mother Kim, aunt Louise, E Charman, Karen Jenner and Mark Morten.

Sherry Scott, owner of the Brighton Ice Rink, was surprised but amused by the picture accompanying a story about the closure-threatened rink on Wednesday last week and purporting to be of her! It wasn't. "It does not look anything like me," she says. "I don't wear a hat and don't need glasses. Who was the woman pictured?"

Well, I can answer that thanks to another complaint from the woman herself - Patricia Ginman of the Keep Sussex Skating Association.

She says: "It was a picture of me taken some ten years ago. I am sure you have a picture of Sherry Scott on file which you could have used more appropriately."

My apologies to both Sherry and Patricia who are at least linked by their love of ice skating.

Valerie Paynter, from Hove, says her letter published on Wednesday last week could have been misleading. She was writing about the grade II-listed flint wall between the new Tesco store and Church Road, Hove, and not the flint wall that has been demolished to make room for the store's frontage and which was not listed.

She says: "I hope you can make it clear that the wall still standing is threatened by a reduction from 6m at its middle down to 3.6m and apparently no one has objected." 'Tis done, Valerie.

Jennifer Goldie, from Hove, complains about the headline to a report on the inquest of student Hina Shah on Thursday last week. It said: "Records may have saved cliff student".

She asks: "Was the student's fate not yet known or was the uncertainty over whether it was the records or some other factor which saved the student?

"Neither I fear, but it was only after several lines of the story that one discovered Hina had died. Your headline writer and reporter appear to be unfamiliar with the important difference between 'may' and 'might' which had a significant effect."

Thanks, Jennifer, you're quite right but I should point out the fifth word of the story was suicide.

Apologies to actor Brian Capron - alias Coronation Street killer Richard Hillman - who we said in a story on Thursday last week lived in Hove instead of Brighton. He's not a man to upset!

And finally, this week's Spicer (you know who it is from by now). Gerald says a story on Wednesday last week about St Luke's School in Brighton wrongly stated it is in St Luke's Road.

"I should know," he says, "because I went there between 1934 and 1935 after we moved down from London, which is 50-odd miles north of Brighton in case you didn't know! I go to the annual school reunions each July."

For the record, St Luke's Infants School is in Queen's Park Rise and the junior school in St Luke's Terrace.
