Readers may remember Steve Colomb's comments about our BN1 cartoon, saying it was "badly drawn", "unfunny" and at worst "utterly incomprehensible".

Well, he has some supporters, such as Irene Thurston, who says she rarely voices an opinion in a newspaper but now the subject has been brought up she agrees BN1 is "awful".

"There is absolutely no humour in it at all and a child could do better drawings," she says. "I am glad someone else has spoken up because I was beginning to think I had lost my sense of humour altogether."

Mrs MP Julyan, from Haywards Heath, says: "I had not realised BN1 was a cartoon. As it is on the same page as the crosswords, dingbat etc, I had thought it was some kind of puzzle. I have to agree with Steve Colomb, as a cartoon it's a non-starter."

Tim Hodges was offended by BN1 on July 22, depicting a young boy with his school photograph which showed him in disguise because his mother was concerned about the threat of paedophiles.

Mr Hodges says: "Surely in the current climate this is an unnecessary attempt at what is usually poor humour? Please try to keep the subject matter of BN1 somewhat lighter and perhaps occasionally politically controversial."

Against the complainants is Mrs M B, from Brighton, who says I am welcome to quote her comments on the subject but doesn't want me to use her surname because she believes she is the only person in Sussex to have it.

She says: "Although I am an old fogey of 71 (and therefore clearly on the brink of senility!), I can always get the point of BN1 and invariably find it funny and sometimes quite hilarious."

John Stanaway, from, Hove, agrees: "Your cartoonist Alex Hallatt often comically depicts current situations which would take many words of explanation."

Any more readers wish to offer a view?

Mr Hodges also points out two errors in our sports pages - the first on Saturday, August 2, when the scoreline on the Albion report said they had won 2-1 against Yeovil when in fact they had lost by that score.

The second error was made in the morning edition on Wednesday last week when we reported "tomorrow's BAGS" (greyhound results) when we should have said "yesterday's BAGS".

"It's a fantastic service to your readers, well done," says Mr Hodges, "I'm off to Ladbrokes."

Praise now for our reporter Deborah Tucknott and her story on July 24 about Eric Blunden and the footpath in Hove that he had discovered went nowhere.

Mr Blunden says: "I must say the story was 100 per cent accurate, full of detail and very informative. And the photo by Andrea Wright was (apart from the ugly face) superb.

"I compliment you and the staff of a super job. Thank you very much." Thank you, too, Mr Blunden.

Marilyn High, from Hove, was amused by an advertisement for a flat in Kemp Town, Brighton, which appeared in The Argus Property a couple of weeks ago.

It said the flat enjoyed "uninterested sea views". It should, of course, have said uninterrupted. Thanks, Marilyn.

And finally, this week's Spicer from Gerald, from Portslade, who says a story on July 31 about a misleading prize draw referred to Fishers Gate Close, Portslade, when it should have said Fishergate Close.
