David Kenny, from Hove, says he likes the layout of the new Argus except the television pages, which he "knew" we would "mess up".

He says even though we have now added Channel 5 listings, there is still a difficulty for people trying to programme a video recorder because they are on the opposite page to the other channels instead of them all being on one page like in the Radio Times.

The problem is, David, that Radio Times, pages are much smaller than those of The Argus and, believe me, many people would complain if we were to reduce the type size to fit our listings on one page (some readers think - wrongly - that we have anyway!).

One such person is Dorothy Hobden, from Eastbourne, who says she would like the pages to have more contrast or bigger headings. She also has trouble finding the pages now they are no longer on the centre pages.

Note to Dorothy and others similarly baffled - the page numbers are always flagged in the index on page 2.

Bryan Wallis says he also agrees The Argus is much better, except for the racing pages which now do not carry the 24-hour declarations in the edition on sale in Polegate, where he lives.

"Since the introduction of the new format I have not had one winner," he says. "Take note, Mr Editor, if this continues I may not be able to afford to purchase The Argus."

Noted, Mr Wallis. You and other readers who have complained about this change may be interested to learn that 48-hour declarations may soon be the norm.

Ralph Bicknell, from Southwick, says he likes the new Argus "very much" but observes that some photographs of people make them appear to have orange skins.

"It's a minor point really," he says. "I could do with a bit of colour myself, although I draw the line at facial surgery."

Back to racing now and Richard Turk, from Lewes, asks: "Could you give your racing correspondent a prod?" Why? Because on Monday's evening edition we published the Lingfield runners for Wednesday instead of Tuesday. Sorry.

Mrs J Loveland, from Brighton, says it was nice to read about the international swimming open event at the Prince Regent pool in Brighton on January 14 but what a pity we didn't manage a photograph of the whole Brighton squad.

"Everyone taking part tried so hard, however they finished in their races," she says. "It would have been better to take a photo of all the squad instead of a few?"

Probably so, Mrs Loveland, but there were still 18 youngsters in the published picture!

Lesley Kite, from Hove, complains about the use of the words "roly poly" in a headline to describe astrologer Russell Grant in last Saturday's Weekend.

"How very rude," she says. "A person should not be judged on his or her outside appearance. It's the soul that counts."

Anne Wood, from Southwick, pleads with us not to "go down the American route" after reading last Friday's Valentine's advertising feature, which used alternate instead of alternative.

"Alternate means every other one," she explains, "Alternative means more than two choices. The misuse of alternate is becoming more widespread, especially in America, and this is so annoying. Please stick to the genuine English usage in your new, improved Argus."

Thanks, Anne, we'll try.

And finally, sorry to David Goldin, from Brighton, whose surname was published as Golding in Wednesday's evening edition and to Radio 1 presenter Briggy Smale, who lives in Brighton, and was referred to as a boy instead of a girl in Bella Todd's column in the same edition.
