Well I never. Billy Elliott is having trouble with his "dying swan" in Worthing's Brooklands Park (The Argus, September 6). Poor he, while Brighton's dancing, clever former junior world disco champ Bryan Mitchell has no trouble getting a place with a top ballet teacher, other than raising the fee.

While rescue officer Billy has stricken birds to nurse, many taking a turn for the worse, Bryan has a "dying swan" to rehearse and, hopefully, will be taking, making a turn and pirouette for the better - should we Argus readers share his "plie" and open the purse.

It would be a lovely surprise to see courageous Bryan become a star in our eyes, so please, dear reader, please be a sweet and help him make the five movements of his feet.

I am hoping to make some movements of the feet and other parts busking to raise funds for Bryan when I can find an authorised spot, with a large catchment of people on Saturdays. I've just written to Churchill Square, so am hoping.
