My colleague Rebecca Stephens' admirable efforts last week fell short just once.

She corrected the reported abode of the late Peter Sawbridge and turned him into a musician!

In fact, Mr Sawbridge was assistant director of education with Brighton Council and formed Brighton Youth Orchestra, says former colleague John Bartlett, who adds our original report of his death also erred in stating he returned to Brighton from Wales in 1971 when in fact he had done so 15 years previously.

Ruth Bolton, headteacher at Blackthorns C P School in Lindfield, points out there are two excellent primary schools in the village and not one, as we stated in our report about Lindfield house-building on July 3.

"Sadly for us," says Ruth, "we are often neglected as our school does not have the name of the village."

We performed a miracle in our report on Tuesday last week of a charity golf tournament at Dale Hill, near Robertsbridge, in which we said former England cricket captain Colin Cowdrey took part. To add insult to injury, we also spelt his surname as Cowdray.

"I was amazed," says Dave Bennett, of Hove. "Colin died at the end of 2000. I attended his memorial service in Westminster Abbey in March last year!"

Mrs P Evans, of Elm Grove, Brighton, accuses us of tactlessness with a report on the success of the Ocean Rooms night club on the front of Tuesday's Business section while on the front page we had a "scant" report that police were scaling down the hunt for the killer of Jay Abatan, who died outside the club.

She adds: "I suppose in Brighton and Hove, this new city and the place to be, all that matters is the success of night clubs."

I would agree, Mrs Evans, that it was unfortunate but not that it was tactless nor that a front page report is scant.

Furthermore, successful clubs surely deserve publicity as much as any other business and, I should point out, there is no suggestion that the club was in any way to blame for Jay's tragic death.

Solicitor Peter Ward points out that our report on page 2 last Saturday about the Sangatte refugee camp used the phrase "illegal asylum seekers." He points out there is no such thing since asylum seekers are here legally for all the time their claim is being considered. Thanks.

Trevor Butler was looking forward to our interview with former BBC South television presenter Laurie Mayer in last Saturday's Weekend, having seen it trailed for several days beforehand, only to find he had been replaced by actress Claire Sweeney.

Sorry, Trevor, but the interview was pulled at the last minute on the advice of our lawyers. Those of you who have read some of Mr Mayer's comments about his former employers elsewhere will understand.

Richard Symonds, of Crawley, doesn't like our new stargazer Claire Petulengro and says he shares the view of Brains Trust star CEM Joad who once said "Astrology is bunk".

Even so, he used to read Marjorie Orr's predictions because of their "positive thinking" value but finds Claire's have no value or interest.

More annoying, though, is being repeatedly urged to call a charging telephone line for more information.

"I hope your paper receives more than enough in terms of revenue," he says.

The call charges existed with Marjorie too, Mr Symonds, and now, as then, we do share a small amount of revenue from the calls.

Interestingly, it has increased since Claire took over the stars column so perhaps you are in a minority.

And finally, to Miss G M Upton, of Hove, who asks what hope we have of educating children when we had a news bill on the streets on Tuesday stating "Albion boss pleadge".

Quite right. It was spotted and changed to pledge.
