I was surprised to see Adam Trimingham's article describing those visiting Lewes and Uckfield during and immediately after the recent floods as "gawpers" (Argus, October 19) . We were away during the floods and when we heard about the water and mud through homes and shops, we were sorry for all concerned.
We often walk around Lewes, and thinking the worst was over, took a trip over last week. Nothing could prepare us for the sight of so much destruction. We didn't go to gawp but we saw the devastation and agree with those who say there should be no more building on flood plains.
