I think I may have admitted before that numbers are not my strong point, but the problem seems to be multiplying.

Every day last week, we published the number 45, instead of 46, as one of the winning numbers for the National Lottery draw of Saturday, September 22.

Thanks to Mary Skinner, of Southwick, who was so exasperated by the end of the week that she had to complain and apologies to everyone who thought they were millionaires but aren't and those who thought they had lost but are now rich. Mrs Skinner, by the way, did not win so no begging letters!

In addition (sorry, couldn't resist!) we got muddled up with figures in our report on, of all things, Brighton and Hove pupils' maths results in last Friday's paper.

We said the results of a pilot showed a rise in standards from 55 per cent to 67 per cent passes at Key Stage 2 for children aged four and above. This should have said children attaining Level 4 and above who take these tests when they are 11.

Thanks to a lady in Hove who does not wish her name to be published but is a primary maths teacher so knows her sums. Perhaps she could teach me!

Brighton and Hove Albion fan Steve McMahon was disappointed to see his picture on the front page of last Wednesday's paper accompanying our report of the New York tribute to fellow Seagulls' supporter, Robert Eaton, who is presumed to have died in the World Trade Centre terrorist attacks.

This is not because Steve doesn't like his own image but because the picture - which he supplied - had been cropped so that it did not show fellow North Stand Chat web site devotees, Nick Elliot and Paul Neal, who helped organise the tribute.

The picture was, in fact, cropped for design reasons but sorry anyway, guys.

Finally, another picture mistake. A letter from Sharon Freeman about the cut in funding to the Hangleton and Knoll Project published in The Argus Extra last Wednesday was accompanied by a picture of the project's previous director, Barry Huyler, who was made redundant in July due to lack of funding. The project is now run by the manager, Sarah Christie.

Apologies to Barry, who rang me to point out the error, to Sarah and to project chairman Roy Taylor, who wrote in to put us right.

Mr Taylor also wishes to thanks all the residents, trustees, staff, councillors and friends of the project for their support in the fight for funds.
