Peter Beard, marketing manager of the Churchill Square shopping centre in Brighton, took exception to last week's warning about shopping for bargains.

He was objecting to Ray Hatley's article in last Tuesday's evolution section warning of the dangers of "bargains" offered by computer shops.

Not, however, because of the Ray's words ("I advocate the validity of the feature," says Peter) but because of the headline "Be warned of shop bargains" in conjuction with a picture of the inside of Churchill Square, which could have given the impression that the centre was a core provider of computer packages.

In fact, says Peter, the centre's retail mix is made up of more than 70 per cent fashion retailers and the only store offering computer equipment is Dixon's. The only other computer- related stores are Game Play and The Game, which are both leisure-driven software providers.

I am sorry for any misleading impression we may have given.

Still on shopping, Brighton Town Centre manager Tony Mernagh was dismayed to read correspondent Denis Christian's letter in Tuesday's Argus lamenting "the demise of Hanningtons and Broadley's", claiming "Brighton is not the place to be for an old chap looking for something other than fashion design."

Not so, says Tony, who recommends his Business Forum's web site, which lists every fashion outlet in Brighton, and he is sure would be able to meet Mr Christian's requirements. The site address is www.brighton.towntalk.co.uk. Happy hunting!

Another Tony, this time Mr Booker, from Brighton, was delighted to see Paul Holden's article in last Wednesday's paper about Worthing photographer Steve Speller's hobby of talking pictures of old cars.

However, he says Morris Garages (MG) must have been turning in their heavenly inspection pits at Paul's reference to Magnet (a comic) when it should have been Magnette (the car).

The ZA and ZB Magnette, similar to the one we pictured, were quite collectable, being BMC badge and radiator grille-engineered items and bearing no resemblance to the original Magnette of the Thirties which, says Tony, was a superb car and "a proper MG" driven by champion Tazio Nuvolari.

Many thanks to Tony, who describes himself as not only a transport buff but a stickler for accuracy. Quite right too.

Reader Keith Carter, from Brighton, says he has to assume our man Adam Trimingham has never been to the Isle of Man after reading his Remember When? feature in last Saturday's Weekend Argus which described the island as "bleak".

Keith adds: "Having spent very many happy years on the Isle of Man on holiday I have never found it bleak. Indeed, you will find an island rich in culture, heritage, wonderful varied scenery, lush greens, lively towns and friendly people.

"It is said the inhabitants enjoy a quality of life that we can only aspire to here on the main land."

He concludes: "So, Adam, get in touch with the tourist board and spend a few days there - you will not be disappointed."

I am sure Adam appreciates the advice and he certainly deserves a holiday.

Finally, Sally Hall's fascinating article on stars' photographer Andy Earl in the Weekend Argus last Saturday was rather let down by the front page teaser spelling his name "Earle". Sorry.
