City councillor Bob Carden questions the term "boycott" in our report of the Green Party's decision not to attend the planning committee meeting on Falmer stadium.

Councillor Carden, who chaired the meeting, says: "I remain confused as to how one boycotts a meeting which one has no part in.

"The Greens lost their chance of participation when they came off the committee to be replaced by the Liberal Democrats. They represent neither the Moulsecoomb ward nor any adjacent wards which would have enabled them to take part in the process."

What he says is true, however. The Greens had originally intended to be at the meeting and to apply to speak because, as we have also reported, extra time was given over to allow views both for and against the application to be heard. They then decided not to attend, claiming the decision had effectively been made before the committee met.

The committee decided, as we have also reported, to support the application in principle by 11 votes to one.

In a report in Business on June 11 we stated an EC directive on late payments had been brought forward and would allow European businesses the right to charge a minimum interest of seven per cent above base rate, currently four per cent in the UK.

In fact, the charge depends on the country involved and UK businesses will still have the right to charge at eight per cent above the base rate.

My thanks to Claire Symonds, of the Better Payments Practice group, for the clarification. More information can be found at www.payontime.co.uk My apologies to readers like Victor Maywood, from Barcombe, who were disappointed not to find Saturday's racecards in last Friday's evening edition as normal. This was due to technical problems with our suppliers, the Press Association, which were beyond our control. We published an explanation in the sports pages on Friday but some readers missed it.

Sorry, too, to Ms J Brown, from Worthing, whose letter about medical practitioners published on June 14 said human rights were being "flaunted constantly by the self-appointed experts in every field." In fact, it should have said "flouted . . . "

Our numberwords puzzle last Saturday was a little more difficult than it was supposed to be since the letter clues were incorrect. This was the fault of our supplier for whom I apologise.

Many thanks to emailer Dorothy Hobden, Mrs A Snashall, from Eastbourne, and Mr R Snape, from Worthing, who not only spotted the error but still managed to correctly complete the grid. Well done. You have all been entered into the prize draw.

Finally, to Brighton model Jordan and the mystery of her injured hand, first revealed in The Argus on Saturday and then followed up by a Sunday national paper, which reported she had bruised a finger while riding.

But which hand was it? asks Brenda Jacob, from Brighton, who spotted that our picture showed the new mother with her left arm in a sling while the national paper showed her with a bandage apparently on her right arm. Brenda was more confused by a picture in another paper on Monday which showed the bandage had moved back to the left hand.

"I am just curious which hand she hurt," says Brenda.

The answer is The Argus was right all along. The Sunday newspaper had reversed - or "flipped" - its picture. The clue was in the writing on the shopping bag in Jordan's other hand which appeared backwards. How appropriate.
