So Brighton Museum is to give a display about "Dirty weekends" (Argus, May 9) under the guise of oral history.

This is really scraping the barrel.

Anything to do with sex and people's recollections of their own sex lives is at best childish and at worst sordid. Further, it is also highly unlikely to be accurate and is therefore dubious as history.

Celebrate the subcultures that have flourished, by all means, but not this.

Brighton's supposed reputation for this is also a myth and is becoming a boring clich, invented probably in the Fifties, where it should remain, along with "saucy" postcards.
