I read with amusement of the hole that suddenly appeared and nobody wants to own or repair it (The Argus, August 8, Portman Road).

At first I thought this was April Fool's Day and then decided it was the summer silly season.

But then I had a thought. Who would dig holes in this city?

In Lewes Road, Brighton, we have moles continuing to dig holes in a different place every day delaying traffic, or so it seems. In Rottingdean, they could be draining the water out of the pond ready to concrete over.

John Prescott could be planning an escape route if the stadium answer is no.

The Australian cricket team could be a secret bolt hole to Down Under in case they lost the Test Series.

Southern Water could be desperately digging secret holes to find water.

The list is endless and we must be told.
