This is an apology to anyone I might have offended by calling out to them from outside St Leonard's Church, Portslade.

Our little church is under threat of closure, so my family and I have opened the doors each Saturday morning for the past three months, offering free coffee and biscuits to encourage passers-by to visit and hopefully help keep it open.

I have stood on the pavement and called to many people to get their attention, in what I intended to be an amusing manner.

I have, however, been informed at least one gentleman didn't like being shouted to in the street.

It wasn't my intention to embarrass anyone and if anyone else has been offended, they can visit the church on Saturday, where I will apologise in person.

-P Chandler, Portslade
