Like Derek Chapman, we too would like to burn our council tax bill with a great publicity photo but we know why there is an extra price to pay and are willing to do so - after all, what choice do we have?

We must fight to save the rural setting of our village.

Mr Chapman may not be part of our fight but he is not really a part of our village.

I doubt if he has ever walked through the village or seen the pond since he came to live in the beautiful downland more than two miles from the village and three miles from where he hopes the stadium will be built.

The Argus once before printed Mr Chapman's remarks about the people of Falmer; he called us Nimbys.

He then had the gall, at a public meeting, to congratulate the villagers on the manner in which we were conducting our campaign.

Now he is complaining about the extra charge on his tax.

Mr Chapman is probably the only person in Falmer whose pocket it will not hurt - only his pride, perhaps.
