The Williams family, from Brighton, were disappointed at our coverage last Wednesday of the BAA Gatwick Sussex Youth Games held at Horsham the previous Sunday.

They say: "There was hardly any mention of the Brighton and Hove junior mixed athletics team who fought valiantly to take the silver medal, one point behind the winners, Eastbourne.

"The kids had been told to look out for their photo in The Argus but, lo and behold, - not a photo and a mere mention. Are we not proud of these kids? We parents and supporters are but not out local paper it seems."

I am sorry you were disappointed but with two full reports and 19 pictures from the event over four pages (a sure sign we're also proud surely?), there was simply not room for everyone.

Janet Fairhall complains that our report the same day about improvements to the grounds of Whitehawk Primary School referred to the school as "run down".

"It is only the grounds that were run down," says Janet, a parent governor at the school. "We are working very hard to improve our image in the community and incorrect comments like these do not help us." Quite so and I am sorry.

Abigail Smith, from Brighton, hated our use of a picture of a spider on Thursday last week. Abigail, an arachnophobe, says was so upset she couldn't bring herself to read the accompanying story. Sorry.

Paul Lakin, from Hove, was angered by our story on Thursday last week about a new Brighton shop called The Fairy Kingdom, which said it was "hardly surprising" young gay men visited it.

"This is yet another example of sloppy, offensive and unacceptable journalism by a reporter from The Argus," he says. "Please send your reporter on a homophobia awareness course before she puts finger to keyboard again." Point taken, Paul.

Marie Coppard, from Brighton, says she thought she had gone blind when she couldn't find the Mediterranean cruise competition token in the morning edition on Thursday last week.

The reason is we had accidentally left it out but readers could collect tokens from later editions or other days' papers.

Andrew Abaza, from Brighton, says: "It is reassuring to see the highest standards of literacy are being maintained at The Argus."

It is at this point I should point out he is being sarcastic since he points out the headline on the story about Nicholas Hoogstraten on the front page of Monday's morning edition spelt the word disgraced with a "c" instead of a "g".

"No doubt you and your team can come up with other new expressions to describe the events in Brighton and Hove in the best journalistic traditions," adds Mr Abaza. "I await with interest." Naturally, I hope it's a long wait.

George Musgrave, from Eastbourne, thanks us for the article on Saturday about his collection of nostalgic knick-knacks going on display but points out the exhibition is at 77 Seaside Road, not Seaside, as we said.

And finally, Douglas D'Enno, from Saltdean, says that at the risk of becoming another Gerald Spicer he spotted an error in Dr David Delvin's question and answer column in Weekend last Saturday.

The item concerned a patient who feared he had been "raptured" by a GP.

"It gets worse," says Douglas, "Dr Delvin responded: 'I've written a book about raptures.' We're talking hernias here and dictionary has no alternative spelling for rupture. I do hope the doctor's book had it spelt correctly."
